Are you the next Shakespeare or J.K. Rowling or wanna be!!? If you’re reading this, it probably means you’ve got a story to tell, a screenplay to write, or a blog that’s just bursting to escape your brain. But here’s the kicker: maybe you’re feeling like you need a fancy degree or that your grammar has to be perfect before you even start. Well, let me let you in on a little secret — NOPE! You don’t need any of that.

Let’s have a look at the life of a writer and how you can jump on that train without worrying about grammar or degrees. So, let’s roll up our sleeves and get those fingers typing!

But you kept trying until it clicked! Writing is just like that, my friends. The more you practice, the better you get.
