There are two kinds of people: Those who think they can write, and those who think they can’t. And, very often, both are wrong.The truth is, most of us fall somewhere in the middle. We are all capable of producing good writing. Or, at least, better writing.
Writing skills are an important part of communication. Good writing skills allow you to communicate your message with clarity to a larger audience than through face-to-face or telephone conversations.
The good news is that writing is a skill which can be learned like any other. One trick for checking and improving your work is to read it aloud. Reading text forces you to slow down and you may pick up problems with the flow that your eye would otherwise skip over.
