I once asked William F. Buckley, Jr. how he wrote so much and he said, “I get up. I brush my teeth. And I sit down in front of the typewriter.”

His point was, write all the time. Write anything. Read everything. You can’t be a better writer if you don’t understand how other people communicate, what sentence structures they use. For example, about 10 years ago I noticed I had fallen into a repetitive type of sentence structure: “ . . . . . then comma, then . . . . .” I began to make a deliberate effort to change everything. Shorter sentences. Colons. Semi colons. Lists.
