3 Things You Need to be a Writer.

You need to WRITE...
There is no way you can be a writer without actually writing. Find time to write or make time to write as much as you can. Try and write everyday if you can. You can't call yourself a writer if you treat it like a half-ass hobby.

You need to READ...
Not necessarily read but you must study the art of story. Books, good TV, good movies, articles, comic books(My favorite), etc. You must consume a lot of the medium you want to be a apart of or are apart of.

And you need to LIVE...
The thing I see a lot of my fellow writers refusing to do. They write and they write but maybe they are a little too anti-social. Find out about life have fun, do bad things, do good things get knocked up, or knock someone up. Do this so one you tell your story whatever it may be. You have some sort of basis in reality. Life is not only in books and it's way to short to miss out on because you want to watch your favorite episode of your favorite TV show again(I'm guilty). That tragic lonely writer shit is old. Immerse yourself in the real world and I guarantee you will find the greatest stories of all.

That is all
