Write. I'll give you the same advice author Suzie Eller gave me, "If you want people to take your writing seriously, you have to take your writing seriously."
Read. I'm a slow reader, but I still knocked out 57 books in 2016. I learn so much by reading books. I highlight and take notes. Reading will make you a better writer.
Professional Development. Go to a conference, take a class, or read books on writing. I went to my first writer's conference in 2015, and I still refer to my notes. In 2016 I started Compel Writers Training, and I have learned so much! In 2017, I want to attend She Speaks.
Set a Goal. Do you want to write daily? Once a week? 500 words a day? Write a book? Start a blog? Whatever you want to do with your writing, establish a specific goal, make a plan and then carve out time in your schedule to accomplish your goal.
