There are many people around that will give you advice on how to write and what is the best way to go about it. Some writers prefer to write straight onto a computer, others prefer to pen down a first draft in long hand and then type it up as a way of editing, some make handwritten notes but type straight onto a computer and some combine all of these.
Each writer will give you a very good argument as to why their way is better and why they use the method they do over the other techniques available.
However much you listen to these other writers, following their techniques and styles will not make you a successful writer. The most important thing to do is to find the style and way of working that best suits you and works for your own writing style.
This is not to say that the advice given by these other writers should be ignored, in fact it is good to learn about how others work so that it may help you become better organised and more productive, but you should integrate this advice into your own way of working and should not copy another’s style.
If you find your own way of working, find your most comfortable place and productive time of day, you can take little snippets of advice from other professionals and successfully integrate this advice into your own way of working in a way that suits you and enhances your style.
Before you can write a word, you must ensure that how you work is right for you and is not a copy of someone else.
