Reading - The most simplest yet difficult way of learning...

Skills Writers Gain From Reading

We’ve all heard the old line of encouragement—reading makes you a better writer.

But how exactly does that work?

These are a few skills you’ll gain from reading with the viewpoint of a writer, not just a reader.

You’ll Flex Your Critical Thinking Skills

Reading made up events and imaginary people might not seem like critical thinking, but you’ll use your brain in more ways than one. While you’re sifting through a book, you’re also:

Observing cause and effect correlation

Analyzing how actions and events affect characters or the plot

Recognizing things like bias (narrative or otherwise)

Problem-solving to get ahead of the problem (Who’s the murder? The thief? The villain?)

Remember what you read before (simple, but takes practice!)

All of these skills are part of the drafting and writing process too. Grab a book or two—you’ll need these abilities to bring your stories to life.

You’ll Practice Your Grammar and Spelling

Whether you feel a secret thrill at finding a typo in a published novel or second-hand embarrassment for the people who made it happen, you automatically practice your grammar skills by spotting them.

You’re also reading words over and over again, which makes them easier to recall when you’re trying to spell them.

You’ll Discover New Writing Styles You Like or Dislike

You might also find that some writers vary their sentence structures in ways you like or dislike. The long, stretching sentences within a historical fantasy novel could draw you for the long haul. Maybe you prefer the short, conversational sentences that weave between longer ones in a comedic book.

Word choice is also a significant factor in enjoying a writer’s voice/style. Some writers will challenge you to keep a dictionary nearby at all times. Others will use modern slang or colloquialisms that might take you out of the story—or make it feel more real to you.

As you get used to the styles you prefer, your writing may naturally shadow those styles when you’re writing a story after putting the book down. That’s okay! Experimenting with style or tone isn’t plagiarism and doesn’t make you a bad writer. It’s another step in the journey of defining who you are as a creative wordsmith.

You’ll Learn New Ways to Describe Things

Imagine two writers describing a character walking across the street. One writer might focus on how the character feels, what they’re thinking, or what that moment in time means to them by writing in first-person POV. The other could write about the weather, the city, the cars passing by, or what another person thinks of the protagonist through third-person omniscient POV.

It’s always good to challenge how you might write a scene by reading how others do it. You’ll return to your work or start a story with a new perspective on standby.

You’ll Analyze the Plot

When you fall in love with a novel, it’s natural to think about the plot even after you finish the book. You’re likely reminiscing about the great plot points like two future best friends meeting at a pizza shop after stepping forward for the same order—they shared first and last names! Maybe you loved how each minor conflict built into a war between nations or how a character slowly lost their mind and sought revenge.

You’ll know what works and what doesn’t work about the plot structure based on how a novel grips you or not. Your brain will take note about the many things you feel and store it for instinct later. While you’re plotting that traditional mountain-shaped plot line, your creative side will find inspiration to drop conflict or positive moments that enrich your story.

You’ll Fall in Love With Characters

We’ve all written a good character and we’ve all written a bad one. Do you remember the first time you read a morally gray character? It likely blew your mind and made you want to write one too.

Falling in love with characters is like practice for writers. You won’t want to make the exact same character in all of your future stories (unless you only want to write fan fiction, and if that’s the case—enjoy every moment of it!), so you’ll use them as inspiration just like people in real life.

You’ll Improve Your Concentration

Not to sound like a cliche, but social media companies literally create their apps to monetize the brain’s ability to crave stimulation. Scrolling and swiping has likely had an effect on how long you can concentrate. I know it has for mine!

Even if you’re not on social media, things like the pressure to multitask and juggling responsibilities can wear on your focus too. If you miss those moments in your childhood or teenage years when you would spend an entire afternoon or weekend with a book, you don’t have to be sad for long.

Reading any length of a book can improve your concentration. Set a timer and read for five minutes. Next time, read for six. Slowly expand your time for reading (while there aren’t other distractions around, like notifications on your Kindle or your phone screen lighting up nearby).

As you read in longer stretches, you’ll write in longer stretches too. Your brain will feel more at rest with the one quiet activity you choose to do. Did I mention that makes editing way easier too?

-----

The next time you feel guilty for reading something instead of writing, remember that you’re also sharpening these skills! Reading is an invaluable way to get better at writing. All you have to do is pick up a book.

taking a leap in your writing

You are allowed to make mistakes, genuinely. You are allowed to try something new, and it's okay if it doesn't work out.

This is going to sound bizarre, but it's okay to suck. It's okay to try your hands at a new genre, or just writing in general, and fail miserably.

Not just because writing in on itself can be taxing, but because it's art. It's built on creativity. You are allowed to create, and you are allowed to challenge yourself. You will never know everything, but you will keep learning, and your art will continue to improve for as long as you write.

A goldmine of information for aspiring novelists and authors. Thanks for sharing.

5 Elements of great storytelling

We all want to be great writers, but what makes a writer great? Here are 5 elements to work towards that I believe are the key to great storytelling 👇

📌 Immersive style

Your narrative voice and writing style are something you’ll get better at the more you write. Strive to have a style that immerses your reader into the story and makes them forget they’re even reading.

📌 Relatable characters

Your characters are the heart of your story. Make sure your readers can find some common ground in the feelings your characters experience, the issues they have to face, and the flaws they have to overcome.

📌 Reader trust

Trust your readers to put two and two together. Don’t give them all the information you think they might need. Make them work for it and trust that they’ll figure it out. Instead of giving them “4”, give them “2+2”.

📌 Clear theme

Be intentional with your theme. Know what meaning you’re exploring and what question you’re trying to answer right from the start. Your story will be that much stronger when you’re certain of its message.

📌 Dramatic Development

Change makes any good story. Make sure that whatever you set up in the beginning of the book, changes by the end. Then do the same with characters. And the same with each chapter.

Four basic steps every writer must adhere to without fail...

4 things all writers should keep in mind

IMPORTANT WRITING REMINDER #1:

Always save your documents, because before you know it, something will happen and you might lose everything you wrote.

IMPORTANT WRITING REMINDER #2:

You won't remember that story idea tomorrow. Write it down.

IMPORTANT WRITING REMINDER #3:

It's very likely that the ''placeholder'' name you give your characters won't be ''just another placeholder'' name. You will grow attached.

IMPORTANT WRITING REMINDER #4:

Don't delete your old documents! No matter how bad you may believe your writing to have been back then, it can be quite fun (and motivating) to look back on your journey, and see how much you've improved.

इस मदर्स डे पर सभी माँओं को समर्पित कुछ चंद अल्फ़ाज़ 🙏🏻

आख़िर कौन होती है माँ?

नौ महीने जो अपनी कोख़ में तुम्हें रख सके, वो होती है माँ,

हर पल तुम्हारा जो ख़्याल रख सके, वो होती है माँ ॥

पिता की हर डाँट से जो तुम्हें बचा सके, वो होती है माँ,

धूप में खड़ी अपने आँचल की छाँव में जो तुम्हें रख सके, वो होती है माँ ॥

ज़िंदगी के थपेड़ों से बचाकर भी जो तुम्हें मज़बूत बना सके, वो होती है माँ,

अपने शौक़ क़ुर्बान करके भी तुम्हारी ज़रूरतों को जो पूरा कर सके, वो होती है माँ ॥

ग़म का घूँट पीकर भी जो तुम्हें ख़ुश रख सके, वो होती है माँ,

और हर पल अपनी क़िस्मत से लड़कर भी दुआओं में जो तुम्हें रख सके, वो होती है माँ ॥
