I am one of
those persons that believe that learning all you can about what you want to do
in life is the best you can do.
I want to be a
writer so I try to learn everything I can about it. I take classes, read books,
interesting blog posts, etc.
Of course another
important thing is to write and write and write so you can improve. One of the
best ways to improve is practice.
For me the
learning as I said is very important too so I want to share with you the
resources I found more useful. Every time I find more helpful resources I will
share them with you in this blog.
The first thing
I read was Stephen King: On writing.
Next I’d recommend
for you to read Writing The Breakout Novel and the workbook. This is an awesome
book with good examples and exercises to improve your writing.
Also I recommend
taking courses whether online or in person. For me is hard to find good courses
close to me so I focus on online courses and workshops. The best courses I have
taken were Margie Lawson Deep Edit courses.
I learnt important things that everyday improve my writing.
Last as Stephen king
says in on writing Read, read lots in your genre and in others. You need to
read lots to be a good writer.

I keep hearing about his book I should read it. I like finding my favorite authors and reading what they have to say about writing. Patrick Rothfuss and Brandon Sanderson have tons of stuff online that have helped me so much.
I really recommend his book. I will search for the authors you're telling me about too.
Very good advice and I agree with your recommendations 100%.
