7 Toxic Writing Habits To Break

Learn habits that will improve your skills.

This quote is rhetoric because writing is not only nothing, writing is everything and nothing. It is so simple and yet so complicated. Anyone can write, but only a few know how to write. You can spend all your time typing your heart and soul into something, that you either share with the world or keep secrets to yourself. Hemingway says it best, to write you have to bleed your blood, shed your tears and sweat your bodily fluids. It takes a whole lot of blood, sweat, and tears to pour yourself out into a sea of wonders as vast as the world. And yet according to Hemingway, there’s nothing to it, if you can just bear the suffering and make the pain a habit.

Writing is simple you just put your pencil to paper and move your hand, unless you are on the computer, then you use it as a typewriter. However, getting into the right habit of writing is one of the most difficultly tedious tasks to do.

Writing is a skill that not everyone is born with, but the ones who have managed to learn the secrets can use it as a powerful tool of persuasion.

Disclaimer: Avoiding bad writing habits doesn’t guarantee one will become a good writer. It just makes them more aware.

In my opinion, bad writing is something that fails to communicate something of value, while a good writer knows how to communicate something of value.

Personally been guilty of this one, it’s energy-draining (just between us)

Bad writers write rarely, good writers write habitually. The more you write the easier it becomes, even if you’re not publishing an article every day the least you can do is write something down, filling up that blank canvas. Similar to working out, the more you exercise those writing muscles, the stronger writer you become.

Blank pages can seem scary when you leave them empty, but they can also be hopeful of the potential. Try filling them up a paragraph or even a sentence at a time, then it won’t seem so…
