Ten Commandments for Writers
We have it pretty easy in the modern world, right? In many ways, this is the golden age of writing. We have more opportunities than ever before to publish our work and impact other people with our words.
Yet at the same time, it's also a challenging time for writers. Why? Because there are so many options for writing and publishing that it's easy to get overwhelmed and paralyzed by all the possibilities.
What if there was a list of guidelines that would help you clarify things? You're in luck because I have put together such a list. Of course, these 10 commandments for writers are not original to me. These principles have been practiced by writers, and all successful creatives, in one way or another for a long time.
They are:
Commandment #1: Embrace your identity as a writer.
Commandment #2: Don’t compare yourself to other writers.
Commandment #3: Take action on what you learn.
Commandment #4: Make time to read every day.
Commandment #5: Write every day.
Commandment #6: Edit what you write.
Commandment #7: Publish what you write.
Commandment #8: Do what scares you.
Commandment #9: Learn from other successful writers.
Commandment #10. Teach what you know.
I challenge you to choose two of these commandments and put them into practice over the next two weeks. Feel free to email me at [email protected]. I'd love to hear about your success!
