I'm tempted to try this exercise for the remainder of the year. Can someone recommend a way to not just write, but also learn to write better in the process. I'm thinking of using Hemingway App.



Find writing that you love and deconstruct it. What techniques do they use? How do they tell stories? How do they start/end their writing?

Reading great writing will also influence your own writing as well, especially if you read before writing. It "primes" you to write in a similar style.


Thanks. I've actually been saving links to articles and stories that I consider well-written for various reasons (flow, style, grammar usage, etc.).


What helped me to write better was to read great writing. That includes novels and long form non-fiction.
