Write.
In order to be able to call yourself a writer, all you have to do is write. But I have another piece of advice: Don’t go passing out business cards emblazoned with that word just yet.
Malcolm Gladwell is a fascinating writer (one who deserves those business cards) who has an uncanny knack for extrapolating from mundane facts and ideas from an oblique — and unique — angle. In his book Outliers: The Story of Success, he describes an intriguing concept popularly known as the 10,000-Hour Rule. Simply stated, it points out that most people who become highly accomplished at one endeavor or another have at least one thing in common: They’ve worked at it for 10,000 hours.
So, if you haven’t devoted an hour a day into writing for the last thirty years, or three hoursAdult content and certain language are not permitted in premium blog posts.

I guess it depends on what your goal is. I have no desire to be on any best seller list, but I like sharing ideas and interests on FanBox with people all over the world. That doesn't take 10,000 hours to perfect, in fact perfection is not even required as long as you enjoy yourself and get recognized by other who enjoy it too. I would enjoy it if you would write about Puerto Rico and even more if you included some photos. My son lived there for a couple of years and talked about how beautiful it is.
thanks for sharing this information
Tip's on writing how to get started .
