The journey from being an amateur writer to a professional one is paved with self-discipline, dedication, and a love for the craft. While I may not be the most accomplished writer, my commitment and self-discipline, fueled by my passion for writing, have been my guiding lights. Writing is a laborious task, but I strive to find joy in it while also making a living. The mantra of successful writers is to write, rewrite, and refine until the words flow seamlessly. Perfection may be elusive, but there's always room for improvement. Every manuscript revision is an opportunity to rectify errors and enhance the flow of words. However, one must know when to stop refining, or else the book may never see the light of day.
What, in your opinion, are the most frequent mistakes made by novice writers? Ponder over this while you take a short break.
Here are some errors that come to my mind:
Effective writing, in my opinion, is succinct. Eliminate all unnecessary words to make your sentences flow more rhythmically and swiftly. Reading is a mentally demanding activity that requires a high level of concentration. Therefore, consciously strive to write in a style that is easy to read. Aim to make your writing so effortless that even a child can enjoy and appreciate your style.
With the right tools and talent, there should be nothing stopping you from indulging in your creative pursuits. I hope this information aids you in your creative writing journey.
Thomas Wolfe once said, "If a man has talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded and has a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know."[^1^]
Echoing similar sentiments, Erica Jong stated, "Everyone has a talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads."[^2^]
