Good writers are never satisfied with their writing. They know they can improve even though they're not sure how. So they continue learning and reading about writing.
Each morning I spend about ten minutes online reading blogs for writers, trying to glean insight. Many of them are helpful. The more I grow as a writer, the more aware I become of good writing and weak writing.
I also read widely—far, far outside the fields in which I write. I promised myself and God that I would never stop learning. In that commitment I promised that I would read at least one book a week. (I'm about 10 years ahead of my proposed number.)

I want to be known as a growing writer.
I can be known that way if I remain a learner.
I promise myself not to stop learning.
