Learning and Growing in your Gift

One of the greatest aspects of the skill of writing is watching how the

gift grows and changes. No serious writer is writing on the same level

they were ten years ago. Exercising the gift only helps the gift to grow.

Also, learning about the gift is another way the gift grows. Writers read.

A serious writer understands gaining information is an important way

to add to the experiences in life. Experience is an excellent teacher. And

as a writer learns, they write…better.

One of the responsibilities the gift of writing carries is to learn and

grow. A writer desires their work be read and enjoyed. If no one got

anything out of what has been written, then what was the hours in

front of the computer for? Why was the precious energy used?

Readers love to read. Some of the more serious readers will commit

themselves to read the minimum of twelve books a year. A serious

writer does the same. From reading books in their genre to reading about

writing or the industry changes, writers know reading is vital to the

growth in their craft.
