Tip # 16: Keep a
journal.
There is no better way to become
a writer than to write. Keeping a daily jounal encourages you to
write down your thoughts and overcome the fear of writing.
You don't have to have anyone read it, so your ideas, style, and
tone are your own. Like everything in life, practice makes
you a better writer. Write down your ideas, goals, fears,
dreams, concerns, emotions, and experiences. If you hear a
good story, joke, or quote, write it in your journal or idea
file. Keep a dictionary, thesaurus, grammar handbook,
journal or idea file near your desk. Write letters to
companies, friends, relatives. This will help increase your
writing skills, and it will make people feel that you are
interested in them.
