I agree with you that you need to write to become a better writer. Through a complicated set of circumstances I got invited to write computer books by one of the big publishers. This was BEFORE I had published any magazine articles or anything like that.
It was exciting, but man was it painful!
When each chapter came back from the editors, it seemed like every page was covered with red markups. I quickly learned that while I knew the subject matter, I did not know how to write well.
By sticking with it (and correcting all those ugly mistakes) I got better and better at the craft of writing. Another thing I did was search out old books on writing (Zinsser's, On Writing Well, for example) and studied those in between each project.
STEEMIT is a great place for people to improve their writing. Keep the posts coming!
I totally understand! It's the reason I say you go deep by learning the craft of writing and spread your tentacles to touch various subject matters. It's the combination of these two that makes us amazing.
Well done!
I agree. Plus, learning various subject matters is one of the best things about being a freelance writer!
