In this age where communication is so key, few skills are more important for a person to master than writing. If you don't think you're a good writer or would like to become a better one, there are plenty of things you can do to improve. Here are some ways you can develop your writing skills and become better at communicating via the written word.

  1. Write every day. You will be hard-pressed to find a professional writer who doesn't write everyday. That's not just because they enjoy it or do it for profit, but it's because they know the best way to get better is to work those writing muscles, hone their skills and practice the craft. If you want to be a better writer, write more. Write every day if possible--even a journal entry, an email or a letter will do.

  2. Read--a lot! Reading offers writers a lot of benefits. First, you see how great writers construct their work: Style, diction, construction of sentences, paragraphs, whole pieces. Reading helps you expand your vocabulary. Often, even simple articles or stories contain new words or terms that you can tuck away for your own future use. Third, reading expands the world you know about--the more you know, the more fodder you have for writing of any kind. If you want to be a good writer, be a good reader.

  3. Commit certain basic rulesto memory and force yourself to use them. While many of the minute peculiarities of grammar may not come into play everyday, the big basics do. And one way to develop writing skills is to learn these basics and make sure you use them all the time. The person who has a run-on sentence, writes in fragments, or throws in random commas all the time will not have the same success as a writer who knows the basics.

    What should every writer know? Good writers should know how to write short, concise, complete sentences. They should know when to use commas to separate ideas in a sentence--and when not to do so. They should know how to get a subject and verb to agree. They should know how to use pronouns clearly. And they should know the difference between jargon and real words.

    You can learn these things by taking a basic refresher English comp course or by consulting a writing guide like the classic Elements of Style or The New Century Handbook. You will be amazed how much knowing the basics can help your writing to improve. And once you have the basics, you can go on acquiring more skills.
