I enjoyed reading from a very small age. But to be precise I developed a passion for writing when I was appreciated for writing essays by my English Teacher. My passion reached its peak when I was told to write a play for the annual school function. It was then, that I decided to constantly make improvements. Whenever I write a poem or a story I give it to my English Teacher so that she can analyse it and tell me how to improve on my flaws. I make sure when I write the next paper I do not make the same mistakes and that is how I am learning to write well.

Secondly,expanding your vocabulary helps. Observe everything that is said on televisions or in a speech.
Thirdly, This is what I do most of the time: Whenever I see something, I imagine how I would write it.
Happy writing!

Writing isn't easy. If it were everyone would do it. Creating a work that you can be proud of is a harrowing experience. I have found that I am my own worst critic. I struggle with myself writing the perfect introduction or readable dialogue and it takes practice to get better at it.

Well said! Nice advice from our featured author!milliethom wrote:To write well, writers needs to be a avid readers themselves. Reading is how the basic skills of the craft get into our heads in the first place. Then we must put what we have learnt into practice, and keep on doing so. Only by continued writing (and reading) can we improve. I don't believe the learning process ever stops. I've heard many successful writers saying they are still learning after years of writing excellent books.
