How to Become a Good Writer

"You just have to pen down your thoughts" they say. Being a thinker (or even an overthinker), I sometimes amaze myself with things I ponder about but when it comes to writing it down, I find myself confused and out of words. It has almost been six months eversince I last posted a blog. I thought I'd post at least once a month but turns out I think and think and think and think and the thought just vanishes once I start writing.

So here's me writing a confession blog to tell you that "I'm STRUGGLINGGGGG". Why am I writing a confession blog? Because I feel the first step to start (or restart in my case) writing is to be honest with yourself. Once a good mentor of mine, who is a writer (a very diligent one), told me "write for yourself and not to please people" (and oh! Before I forget, this very mentor is the person who encouraged me to start writing). So here I am telling the readers that I'm honestly still trying to figure out and sort out most of my thoughts to put into words. Now, coming to the title of the blog "How to become a good writer?" . . . . . . . .  Like I've said, being honest with yourself is the start to writing but how can one become a good writer is the question. If you thought I'm going to answer that in this write-up, sorry to disappoint you but I'm asking you how to become one? Because even I don't know :/

You can reply me privately on WhatsApp or even comment here to let me know your thought(s). XD 

PS: And if you – my writing mentor – are reading this, I apologise for being an "indisciplined writer".
