Writing something that is really relevant and significant is not that easy. I, myself, take so hard to think of any topic to be shared. I am always bothered which subject is best to tackle. I could barely make a long piece of article. On the other hand, I see a lot of write-ups that are long and really grammar-good. Some even used words that made me obliged to get a dictionary besides me everytime I read. I highly admire those writers. They have been making me think, "what is their secrets?" What is really the secret of writers that they write so clearly and substantially? Any idea so I can also be like them.

There is no real secret to writing. It is just sharing your thoughts and ideas with others. Sure spelling and grammar are important, but they are not everything. It is more important that you put what is on your mind into writing. Everyone has something to contribute since everyone has unique thoughts and ideas. They key is to write on topics that you truly care about, topics that you really can identify with. Writing is easiest when you write with purpose or conviction. Don't think about writing too much, just put your thoughts and ideas on paper.

Hmmm..This idea is also helpful to me. I wanted to be good writer. I must have something in mind and simply pen it out down the paper. Write purposely and be sure of proper grammar and correct spelling of every word. Nice ideas, Olivia!

Personally, I think that the best way to become a good writer is by being creative, not only in writing but also in mental aspect. All of us have creative minds and these thoughts are the key factor in the creation of a good piece. One may put experiences into writing, and those experiences could be generated through the memories we gained through the years. The responses above were exactly true, one must also read more to enhance their good english grammar skills.

While I am not an native English speaker,but I also hope I could be an admired English writer in the future.
I think for achieving the goals,we need to read a lot and keep learning the new words and phrase.If you don't have so much time,I think bear one new word in your mind is practical.
And besides we really need to read a lot,that's also important for me.Every day I will spend 2 hours reading English book,I believe I will be better soon.

I love reading too but sometimes I just need to jot down notes and be organized in keeping the notebook because I have been struggling in memorizing. Ah-oh, Memory is also a factor here, right? Thanks intknight. I go reading as well.

I'm not a writer,but I wanted to be one. One thing that I had observed is that those writers can make words as their slaves. I think that is really a God given talent. They are born with it and it can't be taken away from them.
Those writers do really have a full grasp of the world when they were young.

I think reading helps because you enrich your vocabulary and it's easier for you to express.
Some people like playing with words, with figures of speech will other think and express in a more short and direct fashion.
Some people have more natural talent but I think the most important think is practice.
If you keep at it every day you will get better with time.
My uncle told me something when I was little that I never forgot : Read every day.
I suggest you read from a book not a newspaper.
It will make a big impact on you if you read daily.
