Eric Scott’s Answer

I used to dream of writing music, especially rap like the hardcore legends from the '90s, such as 2Pac and Biggie. I'd spend hours in my room, coming up with rhymes that reflected my life. Writing is all about feeling. You can take classes, read books, and watch videos, but to really tell a great story, you need to focus on what you love and dive into it, no matter where it leads you.

For instance, I watched a documentary recently that I loved, and I took notes as I watched. I used those notes to write a short song that mixed real-life experiences with fiction. The show was called Long Bright River, and it highlighted the serious drug issues in Philadelphia. I took the six-part series and wrote from the heart, blending my life with elements of the story.

Improving your writing involves creativity, personal experiences, vivid imagination, and learning new words. Playing trivia games and studying history can also spark new ideas. My way of thinking might be a bit different, but it works for me. Just look at Quentin Tarantino—his wild ideas make him a genius.
