Ways to improve my writing

                 I think the best way to improve my writing is by consistently writing itself. Maybe I can start by composing short passages and eventually move on to longer, more complex compositions. I should also study up on more vocabularies especially verbs so that I can express actions animatedly and realistically. Besides verbs, I think familiarising myself with more adjectives is also crucial. Knowing a vast expanse of adjectives may help me picture the scenes livelier and vividly.

               Apart from that, I shall read more to expose myself to a wide variety of genres, literary devices such as metaphors and analogies and writing styles. As I gain more of these knowledge, I think it will help in making my writing more interesting. I believe that we shouldn't only read literary works but also other types of writing such as magazines and journal articles. Writing is not only confined to fictional or persuasive writing but also other types of writing.

              I have read in a website that we should keep notes on the conversations we overheard, characteristics of the people we encounter and simply just to write down our inspirations and ideas when they come to us. I think that this is something I should really put to practise. Last but not least,  I usually write in the morning or afternoon or whenever I'm free or inspired. 



These are some of the links of websites that I have found useful in improving my writing skills:
