The 10,000 hour rule, popularised by [Malcolm Gladwell](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliers_%28book%29), says that: > the key to success in any field is, to a large extent, a matter of practicing a specific task for a total of around 10,000 hours Now, to be a good writer, you need to be a very good reader, writer and editor. Most of us have been reading books since we were kids, and easily have tens of thousands of hours reading practice. Yet, most readers don't become good writers. Similarly, everyone has written emails, formal documents, maybe even a few short stories. Yet most people still suck at writing. So how does the 10,000 hour rule apply to writing? What do we need to practice, to become experts at writing?
