John Hewitt’s Writing Tips: Write Every Day
November 16, 2005 by John Hewitt
If you want to grow as a writer you need to start writing. You need to get involved in the process. Every day you should spend some time putting words together and thinking about your craft. Some people have the time and inclination to write for hours every day while others have jobs, hobbies and obligations that occupy much of their time. You don’t have to be the person who spends all day every day in front of a computer, typewriter or notebook, but you need to spend some time. If you aren’t willing to do this then you need to start thinking about whether writing is something that you are willing to make a priority. Don’t feel bad if it isn’t — simply accept that at this point in your life you aren’t ready to become a writer. Once you are willing to commit the time, you will find that daily writing and editing sessions will lead to tremendous growth as a writer.

I’m a full-time teacher and would love to start writing again. I correct writing all day, promote the importance of writing, and…well…yes…you guessed it…I don’t write much except checks to pay the bills or lists of things to do. My creativity has become stiffled and my creativity used to overflow before I began working full-time. I would love to get back to writing again and maybe even go into freelance writing. I would love some advice, encouragment, etc. from an experince writer. Thanks!
