hello there is Peter here again some
more tips and advice for writers from
writers life and today what are the
differences between good writers and bad
writers because writing is so subjective
being able to say what makes good
writing good and consequently what makes
bad writing bad is difficult okay so
there are obvious mistakes that writers
can make poor grammar spelling
repetitive descriptions and so on but
what one reader might find monotonous
and uninspiring might be right of
another readers alley many famous and
successful books have opinions divided
the Twilight Saga Fifty Shades of Grey
even more serious words such as Life of
Pi have all had their share of critics
despite being bestsellers and having had
lots of now highly celebrated novelists
have also revealed how many times they
were rejected before a publisher gave
them a chance does that mean that some
of the editors they sent their novels to
thought that their writing was bad
possibly probably however there is one
huge difference between good writers and
bad writers and that's that good writers
never gave up you wouldn't know about
them if they did writing is a craft it
can be learned every writer that starts
out will not be as good a writer as they
will be if they keep doing it for 20
years and applying themselves to the
practice of writing and be open to
learning and experimenting and refining
their art and taking advice and
criticism good writers didn't give all
halfway through their first draft
because they thought he was terrible
good writers didn't throw their
manuscripts in the bin before they'd
even bothered to send it off to anyone
for a second opinion good writers didn't
stop writing because they received a
fourth rejection if you are willing to
put the effort in to take criticism and
rejection on the chin and think of it as
an opportunity to go back to the drawing
board and get even better then you will
you'll keep improving and it'll become a
good writer because you are committed to
the craft and will keep progressing and
doing whatever it takes to get you there
let's be clear about this this doesn't
mean you can just write once a month or
whenever the inspiration takes you it's
about creating the schedule deciding on
your writing goals and working
tirelessly to achieve them bad writers
don't do this they are either too
fearful or too precious about their
writing to try and edit it properly to
truly make it better they talk about
writing as if that's all they want to do
yet can't seem to find the time to ever
sit down and get anything done they are
full of excuses and they are afraid of
failure so they don't even try making
the time to write takes effort going
through the editing process properly can
be tedious and grueling putting your
work out there for the world to see can
be genuinely terrifying but if you want
to be a good writer you need to
persevere you need to have discipline
and humility and you need to be able to
take a knock or two so do you have what
it takes to be a good writer and don't
