How To Become A Writer?

Practice, practice and more practice. This is what it takes to become not only a writer, but a good one at that. Writers who hone their craft will write no less than 350 words per day, so get to it. This allows you to find your flow, improve your style, master technique, and really figure out what it is you like to write about. Just note, this is a lifelong endeavor. You'll be doing this until you die, or decide that you don't want to be a writer anymore.

That's right, you already write quite a bit on a regular basis, which means now it's time to get a second opinion. And don't make the mistake of reaching out to your family and friends for this one. They're bias, so opt for a secure, trusted, well-known writing community instead. It could be online, or it could be a local writer's workshop. As long as people there tell you what they think you could improve on, you're good to go.

YES, submitting. You're at the stage where you've been writing regularly and showing people your work for a few years now. Which means you should be submitting your work to literary journals who will publish it. And you should be applying to work at publications in need of writers. Think about your niche though, and make sure you're still true to yourself. If you mainly write about fashion, apply to fashion publications, not gardening ones.

You kind of have no clue who you are as a writer. You're great with words, but when it comes to finding your own style, or niche, you're in the dark. Why not take a week's time, so as not to rush the process, to just journal it out? This will at the very least help you figure out your style. The way your words naturally flow on the page. And then make a list of your interests and what you can see yourself writing for many, many years to come. Is it horror? Is it cooking? Or maybe romance?
