(A) Read books on writing. I’ll name a few that helped me: Strunk and White – The Elements of Style, A Dash of Style by Noah Luckman, The Complete Handbook of Novel Writing, Manuscript Makeover by Elizabeth Lyons, and Stephen King on Writing. That book gave me the juice to continue after several really bad critiques of my writing. Believe it or not, several publishers thought ‘Carrie’ sucked. Wonder what their fall back job was. Get your hands on a copy of the Chicago Manual of Style.
(B) Read books in the genre that you want to write in. Join writer’s group and participate. Speak out for help, and write.
