The Paper Bag Challenge

Five Secrets to Good Writing!
  1. Write! It's not writing until it's on the paper. Story telling is a great art, but it is not story writing.
  2. Rewrite! No one EVER writes anything well the first time. The first draft can not be the last draft. (I rewrite my work 50...60 times or more.) Here's a tip: read your first draft, and if you think it's good, you are in trouble. But, if you read it and you see it's not that good, you are in great shape...to get going. The more you rewrite the better your writing will be.
  3. Write for the READER: Maybe you understand what you have written, but the writer's job is to have the reader understand it. Keep in mind... writers do not write writing, they write reading.
  4. Listen. Read your work out loud (pencil in hand) and it will let you hear your own writing. It will almost improve itself.
  5. Read, read, read. Reading is the key to good writing. The more you read, the better the writer you can be. You can NEVER read too much.
