    Write everyday. It doesn't matter if it's a short story, a poem, a monologue, an article, or a hub! Just keep writing. Once you get yourself into a habit it will become easier for you.

    1. You want to be dedicated to your craft. 2. Love what you do. 3. Study the craft from other writers and authors. Take examples and apply it to your knowledge. 4. Be consistent. 5. Create a vehicle for yourself such as going out and selling your material. 6. Believe in your work.

    Well, It is already mentioned that one must write to get into the habit.

    But If You want to become a good writer. You must go through the literature filled with good writings. Start reading the forefather of literature. Doesn't matter which country or nation because after reading writers from all over the world not much but even in little autobiographical excerpt I realized THEY HAVE ONE THING COMMON and that is HUMBLENESS.
    SO Write and Read or vice versa!!
    I hope this helps smile
    happy writing!!!

    Read a lot and write a lot. Those are the two surefire ways to be a good writer. Think of your brain as a muscle and the more you exercise it, the better you'll get. As far as motivation goes, start small. Writing a page or a paragraph is much less daunting than a whole book. So start there. And never be afraid to write crap; you can always edit it later.
