It takes hard work. But it’s worth the effort. And if it seems like an insurmountable task, there are some concrete things i can do today that will get me on the road to improvement.

Personally, I’ve been a fiction, newspaper, magazine and blog writer for 8 years now, and I’m still trying to improve. Every writer can get better, and no writer is perfect. I think I’ve grown tremendously as a writer over the last couple of decades, but it has been a painful journey. Let me share some of what I’ve learned.

No matter what level of writer I am, there should be a suggestion  here that will help.

Aside from writing, traveling and cooking, reading is another one of my favorite pastimes and I have been reading novels ever since I can remember. My friends and family call me a bookworm because they say I’m always either reading a book or talking about a book I just read or one that I want to read. I really love books because they allow me to disappear from the present world albeit only for a few hours, and dive into someone else’s world of imagination and creativity.  Being an avid bookworm myself, decided to compile a list of Bookworm traits that I’m guilty of doing that many of you out there may be as well.
