11 Things to Improve Your Writing
-
Read
This is number one. This is my first piece of advice for budding writers. You should read the writing carefully. Absorb it. Allow it to soak into you soul. Do you believe it’s possible to do this? I was sick for three days when I began, so I read every page in several travel books. After I finished, I turned my laptop on and began writing my first ever blog post in days. Surprisingly, this was the highest quality writing that I have done. It was all because of the way I had learned good writing and inked what I wrote on the paper.

Do I Travel Write for Love
“You are only truly capable of achieving the things you love.” Do NOT get into travel writing for the money. Unreal would be the opposite. You don’t have to worry about things like free travel or hotel rooms. Do it so well that people cannot look at you. Or, to put it another way, you should strive to be a great writer. People will always wait for your next update.
-
Don’t stick with linear writing
There is no need to create a piece from beginning through end. Sometimes that’s not the ideal structure. You may have already noticed it. If you haven’t, you can just see some sections of the exhibition “on a paper”. You can then return to the larger picture and rearrange it, thereby determining the best way for you to tell the story.
-
Feel motivated
There have been many students who were most successful from universities I attended. They weren’t always among the most gifted. But they were the most dedicated. They had read quality writing enough and had thought about the reasons it was so amazing. They did not come up with that understanding but their ambitions led them to search for better writing and to think about it. It is crucial to determine what makes a piece good or bad writing. Driving inspires future writers to take risks, show vulnerability, consult more writers for advice and even appear before editors. Don’t be shy. Sitting in a quiet corner won’t take you as far, as will extending your hand to introduce yourself.

Discover what makes your mind and your writing flow
Let me elaborate. I can spend hours staring at a blank Word paper on my laptop. I have trouble figuring out how to begin a story or what topics to write about. Then, I will reply by email to a friend who is interested in the details of the trip. I will respond to an email from a friend, containing interesting anecdotes as well analysis about the area and culture. Then I’ll realize that I can just copy and paste the entire email into a Word document. Many of the published articles in my blog have large blocks of text that were originally created as part email correspondence to friends. This might not work for everyone.
-
Read the entire story
There are two types in travel writing: commercial or personal essays (or memorabilia). Writers of commercial trips need to make each section of the story an intrinsic part of their knowledge. From the ways you write a lead to the nutsy graph, scenes, and conclusions. Knowing what a story arc is will help you remember your past and create personal essays. By paying attention to what you write and how you read, it is possible to gain an intuitive understanding of these concepts.

Don’t fret if your draft isn’t good
This is especially true when I am writing personal essays and travel memories. I write, write, write. I am never sure what I am writing. What is the point? I wonder. I wonder. Here’s where patience is key: finally, the part above the clouds, the proverbial sunlight of the heavens, shines on me computer monitor, and I finally see the point. And I don’t know how to count. The story happens like magic. The story doesn’t always happen at once. Sometimes it happens piece by piece like assembling a puzzle. You have to be patient, as you never know when this divine power will be activated. However, if you sit still long enough it will happen.
-
Write about what you are familiar
It is your responsibility to tell the stories you know best. While there will always people who are more skilled at travel writing than yours, you are the only person who can tell these stories in your unique style.
-
Use an eraser to finish the job, then read it aloud
Print it and read it aloud. This will let you hear the words clearly. The piece’s sound, unacceptable sections, and clumsy phrases will be revealed. This will make sure you jump in an obvious manner.
-
Never forget to have someone else look at your writing
Although every writer makes mistakes, it is difficult to spot them in writing without an editor. Editors play an extremely important role. Editorial staff don’t need to be professionals. You don’t have to hire a professional copywriter. A friend can read your travel writing and that might be enough. It’s even better to have someone you don’t know about traveling.
My friend doesn’t travel very often. She regularly reads my blog and helps me ensure that I include all important details. Being an expert at something means you can fill in the details in your head. You automatically go from A through C; Step B becomes unconscious. Step B seems so obvious that you forget it when you write. Knowing the steps can help you ensure your travel writing is well-written and engages readers.
-
Learn to self-edit
This is where many people do it wrong. They write it. They then read it. And publish it. They are embarrassed to admit that they missed a typo. You can still benefit if you adhere to some guidelines. First, you need to write the article and then wait for it to rest for several days before editing. Continue the editing process after you’ve completed your first round. Have another pair of eyes look at it. Print a checklist that outlines grammar rules you should review when editing. Use the cheatsheet to catch any mistakes and produce better travel writing.
Writing is a form or art. It takes practice and patience. Because you don’t have a mentor or expert to offer advice and suggestions, it can be hard to improve your work. It doesn’t push you enough for better. If you aren’t willing to take responsibility for your own improvement, you won’t get there.
