What Are the Traits A Writer Must Have?
Characteristics of a successful writer
You must be harassing yourself to become a good writer to survive.
That’s what drove you here.
A writing job seems easy to the people who don’t write. They think this career is the easiest and often says, "you just need to write. That’s your job."
When these words touch your ear and then your brain, you feel violated.
Yes. It is a violation. No one has the right to judge merely seeing the unpleasant or unsaleable cover of the book. Right?
- You read for entire days, here and there, for hours.
- You read about grammar.
- You learn styling, structuring and many elements of writing.
And then, someone says, "you only write" is a job you do. It hits and makes you feel less.
But, let me tell you the truth. Who says writing is easy, never learnt in school about writing. They bunked.
Writing is not a job. It is life. It is a lifestyle. It is meditation. It is a career. It is a prayer.
Many writers in India in the ancient times achieved salvation through writing; prayers, poetry. One such is Andal.
