• Tienes que ser un buen lector. Así que, sea cual sea el género que te interese, lee muchos libros sobre él y es mejor que cualquier clase de escritura que puedas tomar. Absorberás técnicas y, en muchos casos, podrás empezar a escribir siguiendo el estilo del libro o del autor que admiras y, a partir de ahí, surgirá tu propio estilo. Sé un lector diligente y luego intenta escribir con seriedad, profesionalidad y aborda todo lo que escribas de forma profesional.
