Personal tips on how to write better (notes)

Here are a few tips you might want to consider if you want to get better at creative writing:
Heighten your senses.

Eat slowly, careful to recognize the array of flavors present. Which one is good? Which one do you like? Do they complement each other?

Notice the smells around you. Uncover the layers. You might probably be aware that a certain scent can refresh a memory associated to it. And you're probably making new ones day by day.

Listen to music the way you're savoring the food. It'll take you somewhere if you'll let it.

Read books, widely, deeply. I can't say more but to dissect them—devour them. Use different reading glasses if necessary. A good work usually doesn't fail to surprise.
