"Collect a War Chest of Knowledge
We all start with some talent and skill, but to write well we need to train up. ...find writing books with high reviews so you can judge which might be most helpful for your development.
...
Another way to build your knowledge is by subscribing to helpful writing blogs. Bite-sized learning can be perfect for a time-crunched writer.
...
You should also make learning about characters a priority because they drive the story. Getting to know who the people in our stories are and what makes them tick helps us understand what’s motivating them, and that makes writing their actions and behavior easier. Once you have a better handle on plot and character, turn to other storytelling elements and techniques. There’s so much great stuff to learn!"
