I'm an author in trying myself. Currently working on an original piece, but I feel that I needed to improve my own skills is to see the skills of others and help them, as well as myself. I'm a person that can aid those with the skill set that I have. How I do this process is by improving myself in my writings to be a better writer. If I can become a better writer by helping others, I do that just as well. I feel that the best way to improve upon one's way of writing is: Trying new ways of writing that coincide with your skills. Review others work. (We can be blinded to our own material, so a new set of eyes always help.) Learn from other's experiences. Get out there and talk to others to see what ideas you both can form.
