Here's the deal.It takes between 5 and 20 days to set a habit. Say 11 for most people.If you write every day for a month, there are good odds you'll write something you think is halfway decent. And it will only take half a month to make it a habit, the trick is to make a point of finding enough time every day for about two weeks to write in. A good rule that I use for habit-forming is to make a tickbox for the eleven days I need to do something, then mark it as I do it. I'm generally faster than the average and don't need the checkboxes about halfway through, but I keep the paper out as a reminder until I know I'm solid.The other key to improvement of course is a neutral eye. This is a remarkably hard thing to develop for anyone, a lot of people would say it's impossible to do for yourself. With writing (particularly online) it's very hard to get other people to take the time to read your writing seriously, so the best way is always networking. Unless you're lucky and live near an art community, it can be a challenge to find someone knowledgeable to review your work, but even an untrained eye can guide you. (The terms are "pointer critique" and "tutor critique", this post is an excellent overview of critique for someone who wants to learn to improve from others: td-vice.deviantart.com/journal… ).remember that the only difference between a master and a beginner is that the master failed more times than the beginner started. Make up for your real or perceived lack of technique with sheer volume, then take the part of the volume you think is worthy to someone who can give you direction. That's how you turn goals into reality.
