(public speaker) The Secret To Writing Success Posted By : Deanna Mascle

Whenever it came time to field questions from the audience I came to expect — actually anticipate — that some bright-eyed, eager novice would direct a particular question at my friend. Placing her bottom on the chair in front of her computer and writing every day — whether or not she was in the mood, whether or not she was motivated, whether or not she was inspired, and whether or not she had a paid writing gig. Regular writing improves the quality of your writing by giving you the chance to hone your skills and experiment with new methods. Improving the quality of your writing and generating more writing projects gives you that much more to market to the reading and publishing public and therefore increases your chances of writing success. Deanna Mascle publishes the writing newsletter Word Craft Online and writing site Answers About Writing where you can also find her free "Challenge Your Muse" writing prompts and exercises. She has published three novels; written and edited numerous newspapers, magazines, books, and online publications; and teaches writing.
