In my opinion one of the best ways to improve yourself as a writer is to edit other people's writing. Sometimes it can be tedious but at other times you just can't wait to read the next chapter. I actually prefer editing other people's books instead of reading books that have already been published. This is because I can make comments and suggest changes. Not only is it a way to stay in control but it also is a great way to improve your creativity and your grammar. Sometimes reading just one paragraph of someone else's writing can make your mind go crazy with ideas.
If you haven't seen the site NanoWrimo I highly recommend checking it out. If you have finished your novel or even just want someone to read one chapter of your novel check out their forums. You can beta read (which is basically just reading someone's novel and making edits) or have someone beta read your novel. It's a great way to get yourself out into the writing community and make friends.
Question: Have you ever participated in NanoWrimo and if so what do you enjoy about it?
