First, you need confidence in your ability to write down your thoughts in English. Then, you need to build confidence in your ability to edit your writing and master the self-editing tools. You need to write and edit a lot to learn to transform half-ideas and faulty sentences into compelling statements and complete sentences. Learn the grammar rules that you break all the time out of ignorance. Only then, start working on style. Deliberately and vigorously. Once you learn to FEEL the language, you can't help it — you start seeing the words and the structures that make the reader hopelessly fall in love with the text and read until the end.
- To learn self-editing that is NOT painful, enroll in the creative writing SPRINT! and write weekly with a group. New challenges each week.
- To improve sentence structure, join the Community LIVE calls and learn to do line editing in real time.
- To improve your writing skills, write often and submit your writing in the Writing Studio in the Community if you want personalized feedback.
