“Anyone who writes is a writer, but that doesn’t mean they’re a very good one. So let’s talk about how to become a better writer. We’ll begin with the basics — here are seven key lessons:

• Writing is simple, but not easy.
• Before you get a larger audience, you have to get better.
• Practice makes you better; it’s the repetitions that make it effortless.
• Until you put your work out there, you’re only screwing around. Write for real.
• You can’t practice without discipline. Keep showing up and persevering.
• There will always be resistance; type through it, anyway.
• Get over your excuses and do the work.”
