Episode 155: What Should You Be Doing Every Day to Become a Better Writer

In this episode, I’d love to answer this question: what should you be doing every day to become a better writer?

So, what kind of tip can I share that you might didn’t know yet?

You might know the answer, or you might not. Of course, this tip will determine your success as a writer. I’ve seen this way too much over the years of being a writer.

The daily habit that determines the most success as a writer is to READ and WRITE every single day.

Back in my day, I was not a reader. I didn’t like to read nor know the best edition. I wasn’t even the fastest reader growing up and I struggled in English class. I just always think a little bit differently from other typical learners. I just always want to study for my grades so it was always hard for me.

Reading was not fun for me and so I always struggle. Then, I took up nursing and all we did was read. But I wasn’t enjoying it because it was all about medical stuff. I feel like I was only reading to pass the test. I never even finished the book that I enjoyed. That time, I wasn’t also pushed to do it, so I don’t want to do it.

What I Did To Become A Better Writer

But nowadays, I’m a completely different person. I have that mindset that if you don’t like reading, you just have to find a good book. There’s a book for everybody out there.

Every writer I spoke to in my podcast, whether writer or not, I asked them for their favorite book. And a lot of them say, there are so many. That’s because they love to consume the content. They love to read. And it makes them better writers.

Does that mean I sit down every single day to open a book? Nope. But I’ll tell you I open my audiobook every day. Or I listen to something engaging like this.

I challenge you to download this free app called Goodreads. Make a book list, fiction and non-fiction, and try your best to read at least 20 minutes per day. Take a walk. Cook dinner. Fold the laundry and listen. And you will become a better writer.
