Great Writers - 5 Great Habits to Learn

As bloggers and Internet-based writers, we often place a stronger emphasis on content over considerations about style and work habits. However, for centuries writers have given general writing advice that can still apply to bloggers, despite the differences in medium. The most important aspect of writing that many forget is the actual process of writing. While individual writers have certain idiosyncrasies, as author interviews on magazines like the Paris Review demonstrates, there are a few characteristics that are true of all great writers. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

1. There is no writing, only rewriting

Because blogging makes it so easy for writing to be instantly published, those of us who are mostly Internet writers may have a tendency to forget the importance of editing. I’m not talking about just a cursory grammar and spell check; I’m talking about the kind of editing in which you write a first draft, let it sit for a few days, then return to it again with a fresh mind and a desire to make substantive changes.
