How to write

How to write…

There’s a ton of information about writing online. You can find thousands of good blog post on the subject, and also a ton of good eBook. If you look on Amazon, you can find a lot of books on the subject.

With all that information available to you, why should I make a post on that subject?

It’s because, I want to share with you what’s on my mind.

I think that you can learn all you want about writing (You can read and read). Nothing is better then doing while learning. You need to write as you learn to make it better.

You can keep on reading about writing. It’s ok to do so. But you need also to do the writing.

I’ll give you some tips:

  1. Develop the habit of writing.
    1. Choose to dedicate time to the actual action of writing.
    2. The best would be to do this every day.
    3. At first, start with 20 minutes. A real 20 minutes where you do nothing else then writing. After 30 days, you can raise that time if you want. Don’t underestimate the amount of writing you can do in 20 minutes a day.

“The desire to write grows with writing.”

– Desiderius Erasmus

Yes, there’s a lot more to do after the creative moment. But if you can manage this part, the rest will be easy.

About Serge ‘Mage’ Cote Why do I write? I believe in the butterfly effect. As small my influence may be on the planet, it is still influence. I want to orient it for the better. I write my book with the idea of bringing something good into this world. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” – Edmund Burke I want my books to be a good place to be. A place that you visit often and feel good about it. I want my books to bring good energy so the readers will take action to make this world a better place. I want my books to guide those who don’t know why they feel so bad about their life. I want my books to be there after I’ll be gone. I want people to come back to them and use them in a positive way. “The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.” – William James

  1. You are right, Mage1999: just the commitment to write twenty minutes per day will at least produce words on paper for experimenting, excavating for deeper meaning, exploring for corollary ideas, etc. I see you like quotes! Perhaps you already know it, but here’s one from my collection about writing: “To write is to embark on a journey whose final destination we do not know. Thus, writing requires a real act of trust. We have to say to ourselves: I do not yet know what I carry in my heart, but I trust that it will emerge as I write”–Henri Nouwen.
