Take a look at this blog article to learn how one author’s process for writing began with just one word a day, and how he went on to transform his writing style.
How did you decide to change your writing style?
I was having a lot of trouble writing my book and I knew that it would be impossible to get it done if I didn’t change something about my style. So, I decided to write in an informal style with more dialogue. This helped me feel like the story was coming from a real person instead of someone sitting in front of their computer screen writing.
I decided to change my writing style mainly because I wanted my readers to be able to relate more with me. That’s when I decided to write about more personal things and less about what is happening in the world around me.
How can one author make a change in his writing style?
One author,
Amanda Palmer, has converted her blog into a book by making the transition to a new writing style. Amanda found that in order to make the change smoothly she would need to create a new style for her blog and then backtrack her old writing style into something that still made sense. She has been using this new style in both her blog and her book which has helped her continue to grow and improve.
If you want to grow as an author, make small changes in your writing style. You don’t have to make a big change in order to make a difference, so it’s best to take it one step at a time.
What has the process of writing been like for you?
One thing that has been consistent throughout my process is that I found a flow where I could write anywhere and at any time. Though, this also means that it can be difficult to stay focused sometimes because I am not in my usual environment.
What happened at the start of the process for you? For example, did you write a lot and then have to take away pieces of yourself? Or were you able to produce your own work without too much difficulty?
What are some of the challenges that are associated with writing?
Writing is one of those things that has a multitude of challenges associated with it. It can seem like an impossible task to a lot of people- and it’s true that getting published can be hard. But if you have the dedication, the tenacity, and the talent- then these obstacles will not stand in your way!
Writing is a solitary task, just like cooking is. It’s not easy to study your craft and hone your skills when you’re writing for an audience. You’ll have to do a lot of research and be willing to put in the effort if you want to write a successful blog post.
