Truth be told:
There is nothing called amazing writing. All you have are rewrites, rehashes. And the marketing world is squeezing the last drop out of it – scraping, compiling, re-structuring, rewriting, repackaging, polishing, publishing – rinsing and repeating.
Luckily – you can give birth to epic writing through rewriting. Even the big-name writers swear by it, which is why imposter syndrome continues to be a thing.
In order to craft epic stuff:
Take what you already have, restructure, and keep polishing until it feels the X factor.
Let's put this sentence under the microscope:
"He helped me with the whole process."
Simple and crisp? Yes. Can be bettered? Absolutely.
Feast your eyes here now:
"He grabbed me by the hand and walked me through the process step by step."
Notice the vibe? The 'oomph'? That's the North Star – embrace that.
When you're firing such sentences, people race to your next lines. And that's the recipe to keep the readers glued – fighting and sparking attention on every sentence.
All that said, don't buy into the dream of rewriting being easy -- that's a complete myth. Invest the time and respect it deserves, and you will master it too.
Until next time.
