I have read so many articles on what makes a good writer that my head is spinning. Trying to soak in all the information that is given, is like trying to add more water to already wet sponge.
So many feel that it is good grammar, or writing skills, that make a good writer. These are important, things to keep in mind and in use as you write. There is no denying that good grammar is a must, and writing skill is so important. However, I feel if you cannot tell a story, that will keep both you writing and the reading, and then you lost your purpose for writing. Is it not that we write for ourselves as well as for the readers to enjoy what has been put to pen and paper.
If writing is simply a past time, then I feel we have missed the real desire that leads one to write. I write because it draws in me into it, it calls me when I sleep and plays out storylines in my dreams. Awaking me, with its plots and drama filled pages full of mystery. I write because I love the art of writing, telling a story, and drawing my readers in. Making them choose and pick characters, whom they love and hate. As if they were close friends with them, they know the lives of the characters well. They could at times discuss what will happen next, as if they were writing the storyline, making themselves part of the grand scheme of things.
For me the story and the plot, the very reason the story was written are my reason to forge on in writing. Also my love of creating fun and functional characters, these in my mind are what make a good writer. At least and if only in my opinion.
If a story cannot hold us, and draw us in, then won`t we simply set the book down and move on to the next.
Key point “Keep those readers drawn into your storyline, and feed them what they crave. A great book and a great story.”
