About This Quote

Writing starts with living… is a thing that every writer says. It is a cliché now, but it is true. If you want to write, you have to live your life as fully as you can. You have to read, you have to watch, you have to listen.

You have to do things that will make you a better writer. The more you write, the better you become as a writer. And with that, the more people will read your work and your name will start appearing in books and magazines.
