Writing is not easy- there\u2019s no doubt about it. No wonder many writers face frequent writer’s block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Writing is really an art, although some people try finding the science behind it. This means that studying it precisely will be even harder since you don\u2019t know what you need to do to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The answer to all these problems is the introduction of writing exercises that are beginner-friendly into your everyday life. Keep it fun, because writing is fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Morning pages, a good beginner writing exercise is being able to write 750 words every morning. The idea, a bit like journaling, requires that you write without stopping. Basically, the idea behind this is for your writing to be like a river of consciousness of whatever you have in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To stick to your goal, you can ever use web apps. However, for most of us, writing 750 words takes a lot more than just 20 minutes. The idea of free writing<\/a> can still be beneficial as it will teach you to write on cue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bonus tip: to make this activity more useful use the same tools every day and write in the same place. This will avoid the blank page syndrome that a lot of writers get. Set yourself up for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rather than free writing style exercises, start practicing editing. This will especially be beneficial if you think the final product needs more tightening up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Editing other people’s work is one way to get better at editing your own. Stepping back from one\u2019s own writing can sometimes be especially hard. But this is necessary so that you can track your improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, it’s always useful to get feedback. However, seeing examples of not-so-emotional connections of your work can do wonders in helping to improve writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Basically, in this exercise, a prompt is presented, and one person either through mime or verbally tells a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One partner asks for particular points and details to be more extended on or asks you to advance when they want you to move onto new aspects of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the storyteller, both actions can be tricky. This exercise even though is a little easier when carried out with another person, it can also be set up as a solo performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEditing someone else\u2019s work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
