1) Read much good books , news papers and magazines etc.\n2) Make a broad and own vision.\n3) Often try to live in a calm environment.\n4) Write all the things what you feel and keep them away.\n5) After certain time, study them and correct the mistakes and errors if you find and again keep them away.\n6) Once again after a certain time, observe them, then you will find  a great writer there

Read as much as you can. By reading the work of good writers, you will absorb some of their writing styles and structures. I recommend F. Scott Fitzgerald and the short stories of Alice Munro.  Get a good grammar book and do the exercises that teach how to write correct sentences. See if you can take a grammar course.

You don't have to search this kind of stuff out.  Good writing exists everywhere.  Open a magazine, go to the library, read something for pleasure.  Writing takes many forms, you just need to look for it.  \n\nIf you know what specifically is your problem as a writer I could suggest readings, but because you're pretty vague (which may be your problem) I say just read anything you can get your hands on.\n\nIf you're going to be taking a writing class or you have taken a writing class your text book will probably have short essays to read or tips on making your writing stronger.\n\nOne place I recommend my students check out is Purdue's Online Writing Lab (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/).  It is one of the best website out there and you can find really helpful readings about making your writing stronger.  \n\nGood luck!

Do u go to school? If so, try talking to ur english teacher and explaining ur troubles. Or get a tutor. U can go online and probably find places which will help u with ur writing. i know colleges have writing centers. You can try and ask for help there(I don't know if they will actually HELP anyone other than their students). And...I hate to say this, but u might want to read a book which ur teacher says has good writing in it, and then practice writing like that. If u have friends or family who are good writers, u can ask them to proof-read ur work, and they can correct what u got wrong, and u can re-write the stuff. The biggest thing of all is, don't stress it, and don't put assignments off 'til the last minute. U need time to relax, and just let ideas flow from ur head to the paper. This approach also works with writers block, because if u just write ANYTHING on a sheet of paper, u can get ur thought processes flowing. Or u can start by getting a book on a topic u have to write, and that'll help ur word flow. I hope this helps. I write like I talk, maybe that'll work, and then u can have someone check it over. But I do feel ur pain. I have the same trouble with math and anything math related(sciences). ANd if all else fails....pray like u've never prayed before!!!!!!!(Along with hard work). Ur in my prayers for sure. I hope ur writing gets better! Good Luck.

A)- memorizing stuff and understanding them go hand in hand. i think you should try to undertstand about the things first then write them in your own way.. dont learn by heart, try to use your own words and you would find it easy if you understand the idea of the matter.\n\nB)- in your draft and while studyin', please try to state the things you wanna talk about in your answer. for example, if you are talkin about some character in a novel, you should think like this>>\n\n1- the significance of the character in the novel\n2- his relationship with other charachters.\n3- what he does in the novel. \n\nthe above elements or "titles" (1,2,3) are the things that you should learn by heart. Once you memorize them, you would find your pen writin on its own ;) and it would be so easy for you to write in your own words the whole stuff relating to the character and guess what? you wouldnt even forget any important thing.\n\n hope i was helpful enough..goodluck, dear

Advanced writing skills are not going to hop off the page and jump into your brain.  The responses above are good advice, get it at school.\n\nStudying independently may help you with the mechanics, but you need to BE writing to learn writing.  You need somebody who is knowledgeable to read your papers and edit them for mechanics, style, content and MLA rules.  Otherwise, it would be like trying to learn ballroom dancing by watching TV and not practicing.\n\n1st, get a writing manual by Diana Hacker\n2nd, enroll in class or recruit an English teacher.\n\nI am an advocate of local community colleges.  You can get all the classes you need for as little as $150 per class per semester.  It's also possible to just recruit one of the teachers there to edit your work without having to go to class.  We find it very satisfying to have somebody who actually WANTS to write and exerts the effort to learn.\n\nYou can go to my site and read my essays on writing.\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/scientific_arts_of_monroeville/essays/essays.html

Work hard and try your best, ok? Never give up! Always ask your teacher about things you do not know.  At least you are trying to communicate, and that is a very important step.  Keep trying and your writing will get better.  Trust me, I know.  I used to hate writing, because I did not know if I was making any sense to anyone else or if I was spelling words correctly.  I started writing in a journal every day (a notebook is a good first journal) and my writing got better.  Get an "easy to use" dictionary to help you with words you don't know how to spell or are unsure of how to spell (spell check is the sissy/lazy way out!).  I became an English teacher, so it just goes to show you that "practice makes perfect"!

Read a lot. This is how you develop an "ear" for what sounds right. One of the best little books for learning good writing is "Elements of Style" by Strunk and White.\n\nI notice that some people who answered your question didn't bother with capitalization and punctuation. Not a good practice for developing writing skills.

You may want to check out Yahoo Groups..Just go to search for groups and then type in Writing.  Check it out.. I have been a writer for a couple of years now, getting ready to have someone look over some of my stuff and maybe get it published! Good Luck!!!!

Speak it as much as possible (even to the mirror), listen to it (perhaps on the net) and write a lot. To improve your writing skills, use dictionaries or internet dictionary tools like Babelfish(http://www.babelfish.com/). If possible, find someone to speak it with. You'll be very good in no time.

Writing is an art, and as any art must be practiced. You can write about anything you find interesting and worthwhile telling about. The best you can do is to combine reading with writing. As you read study the authors style, technique and genre. As you do that try to describe what the story was about, what captivated your attention and think of ways you would change the story to make a different version or perhaps became a character in that story. Possibilities are limited only by your imagination. \n\nIf you must write an essay then first sketch an outline shaping the conflict, beginning, the end and the conclusion. When you do that keep the reader in mind by providing a logical (sequential) development of ideas. The reader likes to be surprised however one does not want to spend much time in figuring out a poorly told story.\n\nWhat ever you do have patience. Sometimes it’s the process and not the results that really matter. \n\nGo and have fun!

think back to when you first started learning to write... 1st and 2nd grade. Start with the alphabet, work your way up to cursive... good luck.
