The writing habit can and should be cultivated. A lot of us want to write, be heard, yet we fail to see this has to become a habit to be continuous. To be a successful writer, first understand your strength and area of focus.
Then practice these...
Start with pen and paper.
Don’t open your laptop before you’ve come up with what you want to say. Know what your main message will be and preferably sketched out the main structure of the article.

Get Your Facts Ready
Project managers perform several important tasks – chief among them is
requirement gathering. Without assembling the required resources, the project will fail.
It’s also important to update your resources. If you write based on what was true six months or a year ago, your article may be wrong, so make research ask people before you start writing.

Begin with the end in mind: Ideas can come from anywhere. As a writer, your duty is to recognize that no idea is entirely useless.
Challenge yourself
Write about topics that interest you, but don’t forget to dabble in new stuff, as well. The more you stretch yourself, the more you grow. Never underestimate the importance of learning.
Try to learn something new every day by reading books, blogs, and magazine.

Be yourself
Don’t model your writing after another writer. And if you do, do it only as a means of learning someone else’s technique, so that you can make it your own.

Don’t give up
If writing is your dream, treat it seriously. Stick with it, even after the passion fades. Write every day . Perseverance pays off.

Learn to pitch your pieces
Many writers expect to write something phenomenal and to be published immediately — But before you write a piece, you should learn to pitch prospective publishers (book, magazine, or we).
A good pitch is short, compelling, and promising. Without learning how to effectively market your writing, even the best of writers can be overlooked.
