Stop Reading & Start writing

"I want to be a writer." (^_^) Huuu...tiba2 je kan hahaha...I want to be a writer since i was 15 years old tau..There are several reasons why.

Firstly, because I love reading but now I don’t want stakat reading jer I want to start writing too.. =p

Secondly,because I'm bored...I need a new hobby, something that can make me happy and have a lot of passion to do it..so my new hobby :reading & writing:

Thirdly,Maybe,just maybe...One day,who knows that I also can gain passive income dengan cara sell my e-book/ books.Being a writer allow me to work from home that made me work with minimal of people. Flexible working hours :24/7…
(Day dreaming la plak...heehee..)

Back to the topic,the question is what must I do to become a writer? Mencabar ni..huu.. I read one article about how to be a writer for beginner..(Semangat kan?? haha) The article 'told me' :: in order to be a writer :: you must write:: Sure.. I know, it sounds so obvious, so simple, that it seems silly to even say it. Sound easy right. So start writing.



I’m start to write. Write anything. Every day. Sit down in front of my ‘lappy’ and compose. I write without rules. Writing is like that.At the first place, I dont even care about grammar, typo or rojak kan bahasa, whatsoever..

I want made my blogs sounds like my personality voice.menda alah?? haha It means no one writes like me. My written must be sound just like me. The unique point of difference.

Write Like Crazy. The obvious way of getting around the blank page problem is to simply start writing. Write as fast as I can, even if it's like ‘rubbish’. Sometimes I write questions. Then write the answers to those questions. Sometimes I make lists. Once I start, don't stop writing for five minutes. At the end of five minutes, I don't have a blank page anymore..gagaga Then I flesh out the good ideas, eliminate the bad ideas, and re-order the content. This is much easier than trying to write (invent) and edit (analyze) at the same time.(sound too serious la plak kan...huuuhu..)

"Practice makes perfect." I guess, there is only one way to learn how to write well and that is to write often. A blog gives me the opportunity to practice the craft of writing.Thankfully I don't have to wait till someone's teaching me to write to get started. The Internet have it all. It's globally accessible, easy to use and its free. I can start writing on own blog (web log, or online journal pon boleh tau..)I set up my first blog using blogger.com — knowing nothing about how to do it — in a few hours. I was composing on my very own site.Start a blog on a topic I'm interested in, i'm writing about me & my life and set a goal of writing one post a day for the next three months. At the end of three months, I'll be a lot better writer than when I started..think so..miahaha...

But writing also need a skill. Without it, no one will want to read what I've written. Without skill I'll be missing one key ingredient: an audience. =)

Let's vote!!
Agree? or Disagree?

In "On Writing Well", William Zinsser advises:

"....a question will occur to you: "Who am I writing for?" It's a fundamental question, and it has a fundamental answer: You are writing for yourself. Don't try to visualize the great mass audience. There is no such audience. Every reader is a different person".

I'm not afraid about whether readers agree with me, or like what I say, or like how I'm saying it. Each reader is an individual, and they're going to respond to different things.

As for me,It's all about practices. Practices to be a good writer. A blog gives me the opportunity to write for an audience of one. Myself.
