Find a comfortable writing environment.
Some people do not understand just how important a writing environment actually is. First, let us start by explaining one of the extreme joys of writing; you can take it where ever you wish. Writing can be done almost anywhere, within a cafe, at a park, on a bus, in a bustling city, while on vacation, at a beach or even at home. It is quite obvious that a writer who feels more relaxed and writes somewhere they enjoy will feel an overall devotion and love for their writing; that will in turn produce a better story or poem. So be sure to find the place you enjoy to write at the most.
Read the best. Then read them again.
It is also crucial to be a devoted reader if one wishes to become anything more than a wanna-be writer. What helps is to read the classics and study what makes them classics. Every classic writer was able to add something in their work that made it stand above all the rest. Beyond plot, word choice, characters and other writing elements, the writers work to achieve some things that make a book so joyful and engaging that one does not even notice. One example is from the spectacular writers of J.R.R. Tolkien and Lemony Snicket; these two authors do a superb job of making it seem as if they take you away from the story just for a moment to talk to you personally, usually done when they take the time to explain something more thoroughly within their writing, which makes it seem as if they know you personally and make the book, if you may say, a more comfortable read. Now by studying the writings of the classics you may even come up with a creative element of your own. So read, read again, read some more, then study what you read, and you should be well on your way to great writing.
