Having spent the majority of his career as a neurologist, Thomas Heric encountered a number of interesting challenges when he started to write books. While he had experience in contributing to scientific papers, the process of writing content that could keep more general audiences engaged excited him and led to him developing and improving as a writer. The following tips should prove useful to anybody who wants to do the same.
Write Constantly
Many new writers make the mistake of thinking that they only need to write when inspiration strikes them, especially when they are writing works of fiction. However, this can serve to dull their skills and results in no actual work being done. Instead, try to write something every day, even if you think it is of low quality. It can always be edited at a later date.
Treat It Like A Job
Writing can become a chore, especially when you are trying to redraft your work to make improvements. When this happens, you need to get into the mindset that writing is like a job. This will motivate you to keep going and to make the improvements that make it more likely that our work will be published.
Analyze Good Writers
Thomas Heric has published a number of works over the years and notes that fellow writers can often be rich sources of inspiration. Read constantly and pay special attention to works and passages that engage you. Analyze them and try to figure out what it is that made them so appealing, so you can apply the same thought processes to your own writing.
