ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WRITERS OF ALL TIME, STEPHEN KING, GIVES US SOME TIPS ON BECOMING A GOOD WRITER. AUTHOR STEPHEN KING IS ONE OF THOSE WRITERS WHO KNOWS HOW TO ATTRACT MILLIONS OF READERS AROUND THE WORLD WITH HIS STORIES.

Stop watching TV, it simply poisons your creativity, so read a good book or two instead. To achieve success in this profession, one must read a lot and also write a lot in order to improve one’s work on the fly.

It is important to stay motivated and never stop writing completely. It is also very important to maintain optimism, even when things are not going well for us. Optimism is the best response to failure.

You don’t need to worry about pleasing your readers all the time, but rather write honestly.

Above all, write in such a way that you please yourself first and that you are happy with your work.

Let your writing be essentially your refined thinking and don’t be afraid to dig even deeper. Good stories can often be found like fossils in the earth, they just need to be discovered.

When you write, you need a complete disconnection from the rest of the world.

Don’t be too fancy and use your own words rather than looking through a dictionary as some words can be completely exaggerated.

Don’t use adverbs because they are not your friends.

Imagine what you want the reader to experience with your story and translate it into words on paper.

Don’t give too much background information. The story should contain only those details that will move the story forward and thus convince the reader to continue reading.

Acknowledge all the dimensions your character can have.

Take risks! Don’t be afraid to take risks.

Do not imitate the writing style of other authors, but rather listen to your inner voice and relive your truth.

Once you start writing, write every day.

Finish your draft within three months, because if you write longer than that, your story will get lost.

Keep a strong balance in your life so that your writing doesn’t completely exhaust you.
