Good Writing Comes with Practice

I’ve told others not to erase their writings. Save them under a title and come back to them later. Wrapped inside your ‘baby writing’  or ‘beginning writing’ you may have ‘toddler writing’ or ‘intermediate writing.’ Good writing comes with practice.

I know I’ve said this before, but I must say it again. Good writing requires re-writing. By saving your ‘beginning writing’ you can later pull out the stuff you like and use it as the ‘seed’ to develop a better plot, or better dialogue, or better storyline.

Keep writing. Allow your mind to meditate on your thoughts and ideas. Then, write about them. Explore and expand on your thoughts and ideas. Your mind will amaze you if you give it time to incubate on your ideas. Incubating encourages ideas to hatch and multiply into other areas of exploration.

Good stories come from centered-time, focused thought, prayerful meditation and writing.
