If you want to be a good writer, you need to READ. This may seem
self-evident, but you would be amazed at how many writers I talk
to who do not ever read.
I hear excuses such as:
1. I don't have time
2. I can't afford to buy books (libraries folks!)
3. I don't really like to read much
You read for several reasons:
1. To keep current in your genre
2. To absorb the art of writing
3. To learn how other writers handle various writing elements
If you have problems writing dialogue, then grab some of your
favorite books and analyze the dialogue. See how it flows. How
does the author handle interjections, long conversations between
two people without resorting to "he said/she said" or, worse,
"he
said/he said." (With two speakers of the same sex it is very
easy to get ripped up in trying to figure out which one is
speaking.)
If you see a descriptive phrase that you like, write it down. If
you write action scenes, then find a really good action scene to
analyze and see how the writer pulls you into the scene.
If you like a book, determine why you like it. If you don't like
a book, what is it specifically about the book that you don't
like?
And here's a good tip: After you read a book, go to Amazon.com
and write a reader review of it. This is a great way to focus on
whether a book "works" or not and the book's main strengths or
flaws. It's very simple-- if you have an Amazon account then you
can write a review (you can even use your signature line to promo
your own material!) After you've written your review and posted
it, read through the other reader reviews and see if others
agreed with you or if they disagreed.
So don't just sit at home in the evening watching the idiot box.
Grab a book and improve your writing skills by reading!
