I am a writer and like any other normal person, I am not perfect. My writing is never perfect. Growing up, I received a lot of comments about my chosen path but I also received a lot of advice. Here are just a few things I have gotten that helped me grow as a writer:
Use you imagination
In 10th grade, I was applying to an art school for creative writing and when I told my friend about it, he tried to figure out why I wanted to go. After he realized nothing he could say would change my mind, he asked me to make a character. I was confused but I did, I gave the most basic description of a sixteen-year-old girl and could and he cut me off. "No. You see in the time you gave that, I thought of a green, three-armed, alien with three eyes. You see Danica, don't think. Just say the first thing that comes to your mind."
"Writer's block is just the inability to give the wrong answer."
As people, we try to be as perfect as we can. We are afraid to give the wrong answer. Sometimes we just need to write something down because you can always go back and change it. "It feels so much better to have things come out than just staring at the blinking cursor of judgment."
Write something every day.
You can't get better if you don't practice. Even if it's a just a list of things you like. Get used to stringing words to together to express how you feel.
It's OK to suck
What you write doesn't have to be perfect. Some things you write will never have to see the light of day but that fact that you wrote what you wanted to write in a step in the direction of writing something that doesn't suck.
Sometimes writing will make you want to rip all of your hair out and give up. Don't give up. You shouldn't be able to write something the first time and it be absolutely perfect. Sometimes you'll write and it will make NO sense but that it okay because we are meant to grow and become better.
