Are You a Writer?

Were you meant to be a writer? Is it your destiny? There are a few simple questions you can answer that can help you decide.

Are you a dreamer?

Are you a dreamer? Are you constantly daydreaming at work or in class? If you are, you definitely are meant to be a writer. Dreaming can help us come up with good ideas for books, short stories, poems, or whatever you like to write. That’s how I came up with some of my ideas. I am constantly daydreaming. I never stop. I even like to imagine that I’m a character in one of the books I’m reading.

So dream those dreams!

Are you a reader?

Do you love to read? Do you use reading as a way to escape the world you really live in, just for a few hours? I do. I LOVE to read. Reading books can help you become a better writer. Really. You can learn from other authors.

If you really want to be an author, then READ!

Are you creative? 

Do you like to write? Do you like to come up with stories other than the usual, the prince saves the princess from the dragon? I am always coming up with creative ideas. If you could describe me in one word, creative might just fit.

Be creative! Think creatively!

Are you a writer?

Well, are you? Go ahead! Answer the question! Comment if writing could be your destiny!

How can I become better? 

1. Read

Like I said before, read. Reading can help you find better words to use in your writing, help you come up with brilliant ideas for your own stories, and give you time to get away.

2. Dream

Again, dream! Don’t be afraid to see where your imagination can take you!

3. Write

Write every day. Seriously. EVERY DAY if you can. Try to squeeze it in, even if it’s only fifteen to thirty minutes. This will help you get farther along in your stories and give you some time to dream.

4. Read it to someone else

Yes, you read it right. Read it to someone else so they can enjoy it. Ask for tips on how you can make it better and take it farther.

Ready, Set, Write!

You can do this! Go ahead! Go get your pencil and paper, computer, or journal. See what you can spin together for everyone to enjoy. Be a writer!
