Do you have a dream to become a famous writer? Do you want thousands of people reading your books, discussing them and the famous directors make the movies on your books?

Well, your desire is pretty understandable but actually is rather hard to achieve. You know, there are many people who think they can write and perhaps they really do. And perhaps they become famous for some time but half a year goes by and nobody remembers them. This means none of those people can be called the best writer. Do you know who the best writer is? The best writer is Tolstoy, Shakespeare or Dickens. They will always be famous.

Anyway, if you want to make an attempt to become the best writer, there are 3 major things that you should take into consideration.

  • Writing should be your main priority. Writing should be something that you are craving for. You wake up in the morning and you need to write. Only after that you will have breakfast, take your dog out or go shopping. I know that you may have a lot of other activities but if they are more important for you, then it is more likely you will not become the best writer.
  • Find out about 80-20 rule and stick to it. I guess you do not know about 80-20 rule. This rule means that 20% of your efforts will give you 80% of the result. Think of it. 20% seems to be not that much but it will have the great impact on what you are going to accomplish. I am sure you have enough spare time. What do you usually do in your free minutes? And now think whether 20% of your free time can be devoted to writing. Sure it can!
  • Time for writing is something you should not ask. You have to think of the ways and convenient time for writing. It is you who likes writing but the other people may not share you obsession. Thus, they will not give you time for it. So, you should find time when you are independent of anybody and you do not have to ask the permission to write.
