Expressing Yourself
I was once told that you can improve your writing by expressing yourself in other ways e.g. painting etc.
Personally, I dance, which somewhat suprisingly does help me express myself in my writing. When a character does something exhilirating it helps me describe it better.
What advice would you give to people to help improve their writing beyond writing and reading.

I draw and paint, though I haven't noticed any effect on my writing through my drawings.

JohnN, I would simply say live. Put yourself in danger, try things you never have before, travel, love people, laugh, laugh lots and lots. Just love and live.

I do serious walking, occasional swimming, half hearted multi-gym exercises, traveling whenever possible, and often make a fool of myself by dancing at parties.

Absolutely, 100%. Get drunk, have sex, do drugs, steal cars. But just love and live is good too! |
