Recently I've been considering becoming a writer. Well, at least as a personal hobby. I am not at the point of deciding whether or not I want to pursue it as career.. But, I have become interested as of lately in writing stories, poems, reviews, anything really. Now, I have never been much of a writer - mainly because I have never been really motivated in school or anything until now - but I wrote an essay for one of my courses and my professor found it so good that he wants to submit it to the Dean of the English department. So, this sparked an interest in me for something I have never considered before. And now I find myself dying to express my thoughts into words. With that being said, what can I do to improve my writing besides simply practicing it? Perfect practice makes perfect, as I see it. What are the fundamental elements I can study? I mainly want to concentrate on advanced style and structure of poetry and essays. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
