But I think there’s another really-important advice: reading other people’s articles on the subject that you want to write about. That really works for me that even I can see that my writing is gettin better and better. By reading, you see their mistakes and missing points of the article; then you won’t do these mistakes.

I wanted to write a column that encouraged people to write by taking some of the scariness out of it. Maybe I need to follow up with one with some rules.

Did any of you object to that last sentence? And did you understand what I meant to say?

There is no perfect way to write. If your audience expects beautiful language, then you need to make sure they get perfect grammar. Some audiences are very forgiving (or don’t notice) when you end a sentence with a preposition.

And I do agree that you need to write as often as possible. Make it a habit and you make it less of a chore. Sorry I left it off the list.

These tips are great and they’ll help you become a better writer, but unless you take the time to write and make mistakes, all the tips in the world won’t make a difference.

I also like; that you said, not to Worry, ab out Grammar!

All bad jokes aside, grammar and spelling are two of the biggest things that scare people about writing; Once you realize that most people won’t critique every comma you type, you’re free to become a better writer.
