Other than writing their story to be published as a book, there's a lot more a writer can do to keep their skills polished. Which brings me to some of the habits and hobbies that I suggest are best for all aspiring writers;
1. Journal/Diary Writing; this is a very good habit even for non writers that everyone must try to do regularly. What makes your diary/journal better is if you pretend your life is an interesting story and try writing it how you would write a novel for publishing. It is one of the best habits to adopt and a great way to practice writing. 2. Blogging; like what I'm doing here, you too should start a blog, write about whatever you like frequently on your very own blog to stay polished. Blogging is also helpful for your bio in your query letter that you send to literary agents, if you mention that you have a good popular blog then the agents can check it out and judge your writing skills and capability from it. 3. Writing Online; whether its fanfics, short stories or some kind of article, writing online can really be helpful in improving you writing skills especially when all kinds of criticisms are waiting to be written in your comment section. Don't be afraid, criticisms can help you do better as you can learn from your mistakes and attempt to remove your flaws. 4. Scribbling; this is one good habit that I lack but I found it in my friend and it seemed to be a great thing. Always keep a paper and pen nearby and when bored scribble whatever comes to your head; a small poem, a cool quote or an idea that can be used for a story. This way you can always make sure to have a record of ideas to refer to when writing and use them whenever you like without forgetting them. That is all I can think of now, let me know if this is helpful and feel free to ask me anything you want about writing and becoming a writer. Also follow me for more useful posts like this, thanks
