I agree with Furniture Store there, these are the key ingredients to make a good writer.

Failing is essential in building a successful business. I don’t think there is one great entrepreneur or business owner out there that hasn’t had numerous failures to learn from and grow from.

Don’t be afraid to try. Falling is much better than not trying. Because in failure you’ll learn a lot about yourself and grow as a person. And of course you have a lot more chances for success by trying than by doing nothing. Look for inspiration around, but look into yourself as well and just make the commitment to do it. You are worth it.

I’m always terrified that something will fail. that probably is why I never try. You are right, we can and should learn from the greats from the past. But we can also learn from the greats from now. The blogging world isn’t separate, it is part of the rest of the world too.

Great allegory there, between famous authors of yore and present day writers. I think you are spot on when you say ‘read’ and ‘talk’. Those are the two single most effective ways to gather knowledge, improve communication skills and vocabulary, and gain experience, which in turn makes for a good writer.

Court,

I sent you an email several days ago and hadn’t heard back so I’ll post it in here.

Is there a way with your snipe blog theme to have my adsense show on category pages? If so, can you show me how?

Thanks,
Mike

Your posts are usually great! These writers do have a lot to teach us, if we will just see how they became successful. Yet, as you say, do not be afraid of failure! Not everything will turn out the way you had hoped.

This is one of the best post I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing. Good advice for new bloggers looking to start their own flagship blog.

I also think bloggers could take a lesson or two from Ernest Hemingway. Write short descriptive sentences!

How true it is about being able to write about stuff you are familiar with. It is obvious when one is writing about a subject that they are familiar with.

Robert Allen was very inspirational to me. He never quit and always believed he could accomplish anything. He also was a driving force in the “multiple streams of income” concept.
