If you ever feel stuck in your progress as an author, go back and read some of your earlier work and see for yourself how far you’ve come. There’s always something you can learn and improve, attaining perfection illusive, but give yourself credit for what you’ve accomplished.

Writing is a skill which, like all skills, whether it pertains to physical prowess in sports or the mental gymnastics of mathematics, improves with practice. Your ability to express yourself and wield the words you need in way that makes you a powerful wordsmith lies in using the tools of your trade as much as possible. Practice may never make perfect in a subjective art such as writing, but it will help you develop your own style and ability to say exactly what you want with far less effort than it does as a novice.
