What is the aim or goal of your writing:
2nd ed. says, "Get up every morning and do some useful work. Try to love more than you hate; but hate who and what deserves to be hated. Preserve as long as you can you sense of wonder and mystery." Contemporary Authors says, How do you learn to write? Two ways: by reading the writing of others (being careful to choose good models), and by writing. Every day and every day. Writing courses may help by providing discipline, by setting tasks and making you meet a deadline. But, finally, all writers are self taught. Writing is something like being in love: an aura of wonder and magic surrounds the act of creation, just as it does the act of love."
