Write Like A Master
What Does It Take to Write Like a Master?
So, did you know that one of the very best ways to learn to write like a master is to sit down with your very favorite book and actually type it out...word-for-word? By spending the time typing the words of your favorite authors' books (with all the punctuation, and all), you can learn the correct way to format and establish your own ideas and works.
Now, don't get me wrong; this is not to say for you to copy someone else's work and call it your own, but this is a practice for you to learn how to write like the pros.
If you are a big reader (like me), you have read words in some books that had the ability to just take your breath away. Or, you have read professional books that just seemed to be worded so perfectly, with all the punctuation in all the right places.
Yep, one of the very best ways for you to learn how to master the Art of Writing, is to sit down and type out a few chapters of your favorite books.
Of course, you won't have to type out the whole book, but by studying "the art of each stroke," you can learn to create a masterwork of your own creation. Think about it, this could be the way of enlightenment that you have been looking for to forge your next new masterpiece...or blog.
Being a blogger can be hard sometimes, especially when you are trying to find the right words to convey the right ideas. So, if you have been trying to find an easier way to get your words to flow in an eloquent fashion, just pull out a good book and give it a try for yourself. By typing the words from a really good author, you will learn to evolve and grow with your writing.
Don't knock it, until you try it! Who knows, maybe in due time, you too will become a MASTER WRITER too!
Good luck my friends, and here's to your GREAT writing

Good idea, but studying magazine articles including headlines also helps. I don't read books very often, but instead, read news articles online. I don't think grammar is hugely important as long as your article flows well and holds the readers attention.
That is a GREAT idea. I would only add one thing. Don't use Kindle e-books (unless it is a classic). Many of them are riddled with errors and bad grammar. LOL
You're welcome. The truth is a lot of great writers were horrible at one time. But, with practice, you can overcome. That's what I love about WA, because it really allows us a great opportunity to grow, learn and expand. Keep moving forward.
