How to Write a Better Life

You should always spend a significant time preparing to write before you write. Don't let yourself edit while you write, that will just slow you down. If you read good writing, you will start to write better. It's kind of this weird metaphysical thing that happens. You will start to absorb the styles of the good writers and sound like them. Make sure you're reading for a set amount of time every day. My commitment is I read a minimum of 52 books a year. And I usually read closer to about 65. But I've toyed with the idea of trying to do a book a week.
