There are many rules of good writing but the best way to find them is to be a good reader.
-Stephen E. Ambrose
One of the most enjoyable ways to become a better writer is to read a lot. Reading is a pleasure unto itself, but it also delivers positive results for you that maybe you hadn’t considered.
[bctt tweet=”When you read fiction written by the great masters of the craft throughout history, you learn how to craft a phrase that will thrill your readers.”]
When you read great works in your chosen field, whether you write fiction or non-fiction, you learn how the best of the best.
You become the subject-matter expert in your field.
And when you read the bestsellers in the self-improvement field, you become a more insightful human being who can communicate clearly with your readers.
Here’s my simple daily plan to become a better writer without ever writing a word.
- Read fiction for 30 minutes per day.
- Read great books in your area of expertise for 30 minutes per day.
- Read great non-fiction – personal development, sales, marketing – for 30 minutes per day.
When you understand how you think and act, and why you think and act in those ways, you become a more interesting author.
You become an author worth reading – no matter what your area of expertise may be.
And we bestow this miracle upon ourselves without ever writing a word, as promised.
