4 Things Good Writers Don’t Do
Eliminating these bad habits is essential for a successful career.
What’s stopping you from becoming a better writer?
If you’re anything like my former-self, you can’t help but get caught in an unrealistic vision of perfection.
Right? Because no matter how hard you try to improve your sentence structure & edit each paragraph, nothing seems to be good enough.
It sucks.
Throughout my writing career, I’ve found myself in the same position as you many times. But instead of focusing all your energy on what you need to be doing well, I’ve discovered that it’s equally important to understand the habits that you need to avoid. In the words of Darren Hardy:
“You alone are responsible for what you do, don’t do, or how you respond to what’s done to you.”
So below are a collection of bad habits that you should avoid if you want to become a better writer. Each one of them helped me to improve my writing and create a full-time income doing what I love. I hope they do the same for you, too.
