There are many different ways you can write. One approach is to simply write what you're thinking about at the moment, for example how your day was or how the food you just ate tasted. This sort of thing is usually found in a diary or blog. Of course it's not that difficult to write just anything, the difficult part is to write something that is interesting. One of the simplest ways to do this is to simply think of what interests you.

Normally there would be people around the globe that shares your interest. So if you succeed in writing something that interests yourself there's a rather large chance that someone else will be interested in it as well.

One of the main problems with texts that seek to maintain the readers interest is the flow of it. It can be very difficult at times to write a text of more than a few sentences where everything seems connected. A text with a good flow, with well written descriptions and few grammatical errors is what I would call a successful one. This applies more to articles than fiction though however. Writing good fiction relies a lot on your imagination and ability to speak your mind.

However, something that can get in the way of your plans of becoming a known author is the way you use the language. If your language is riddled with typos and poorly written descriptions, you are doomed to fail. Accordingly you should either have a go at your own texts sorting them out, or have a generous friend that has a decent knowledge of English, or whatever language you decide to write in, do it for you. If you decide to edit your own work, a good idea is to read the texts out loud, this makes it easier to notice grammatical errors, as well as other flaws with the texts. When redoing segments in your text you should be careful to avoid ruining the texts context. Doing so will often close to ruin the text, and make it a way worse read than it originally was. Even if the segment you edited away was very poorly written.
