Hello there is Peter here again from

WritersLife.org and coming up today five

techniques to improve your writing there

are many ways that writers can work to

improve themselves and like any skill

understanding and experimenting that new

techniques and practicing your writing

will see you steadily get better there

are those that believe that writing is a

natural talent and it may be true that

some do have a greater ability to

imagine exciting and engaging characters

and worlds or have a wonderful way with

words however if you apply yourself and

try new things there's no reason why you

can't teach yourself how to be a great

writer too

so if you feel like you have reached a

certain level in terms of your writing

ability and want to improve it these

five tips will help you improve your

writing and tip number one brush up on

grammar spelling and punctuation how

much do you really know about grammar

are you 100% sure when to use a comma a

dash a semicolon we were all taught the

basics of grammar at school but finding

a writer with perfect grammar is very

rare spelling mistakes are also common

obviously it's easy to find out how to

spell any word but careless proofreading

can leave a piece of work

littered with spelling mistakes or

repeated words which won't make a good

impression

knowing that you have great grammar

spelling and punctuation allows you to

be a better writer not only because your

work will always read correctly but you

also have the tools to manipulate send

senses to use drummer to create dramatic

unusual and interesting prose authors

such as John McGregor do this well tip

number two read all the time reading not

only gives us great ideas for stories

and no we're not copy but can also

inspire us to try out different writing

techniques read everything you can get

your hands on and see what excites you

try experimenting with different styles

in your own work finding your voice as

an author can be tough but there's no

reason why you can't have several voices

novels while the writers text books make

sure you are always learning by always

having a book by your side and tip

number three get rid of flowery prose

every time you write read back through

your work and ask yourself is this

necessary for my story does it advance

or add to the story in any way if it

doesn't then get rid of it it can be

frustrating if you end up cutting out

lots of what you've written but that is

how you end up with ties clever

interesting writing if you don't do this

or don't do it strictly you can end up

with a work stuffed with unnecessary

adjectives and adverbs which doesn't

read well remember you need to show the

reader what you mean not tell them and

tip number five give yourself space

after you've written something allow

yourself space read your work over once

and Eddy anything you want but then wait

at least 24 hours before you go back to

it again we can be our own worst enemies

when it comes to critiquing our own work

your mind think what you have written is

just the most appalling idiotic P

rubbish ever spewed onto the page but

you are probably being a bit hard on

yourself give yourself some space look

on your work with fresh eyes and you

might see that actually your aren't

nearly as bad as you think you are and

our final tip tip number five practice

practice practice

if you want to improve your writing then

you should write every day no matter

whether you feel like is or not it's so

easy to make excuses not to write and

then suddenly realize that months have

passed since you made any effort to do

so just give yourself half an hour each

day to sit down and write something

anything it doesn't have to be brilliant

just the sheer routine and practice of

writing will help you unlock your

creativity and you never know you might

suddenly come up with the perfect idea

for the next bestseller writing like all

crafts can be taught learnt and

constantly perfected with these tips you

can begin to improve your writing and

continually produce great work that

you're proud of and don't forget if
