Bid strategist and coach Jordan Kelly shares two of the best ways to fast track your writing skills:
- Exercise Discipline & Avoid Distractions
Professional writers, she says, don’t waste time waiting for “inspiration” to take them over.
They exercise discipline: They close down their email programs and internet browsers, and (when they’ve done their research and planning), they simply get on with the job.
- Read Voraciously
One way to shortcut the “1000-hour rule” often associated with achieving mastery in any given field is, in the case of writing, to make a regular study of the works of highly competent and readable writers.
