R. Frank Davis
1. Read. Lots. Find favorite writers and read all their works if you can. Ask yourself, what makes this writing appeal to me?
2. Try to write something every day. Some keep journals; some have notebooks of ideas. You may even copy out segments of favorite writing to get the feel of how they were written. But never, never try to copy that writing. Let your own style come from you AND what you like.
3. Write as you speak.
