Becoming a Better Writer


Improving your writing skills requires focused practice and a willingness to accept constructive criticism.  Many problems can be solved by thinking and planning before you actually start composing.  As Sholem Asch said, "Writing comes more easily if you have something to say."  Also think about how to shape your message to appeal to your audience.  Make sure your essays have a clear thesis, logical coherence, and specific examples to back your claim.  For those of you still struggling with grammatical, usage, and mechanical issues, Capital Community College has an excellent website, including some great online quizzesPurdue's Online Writing Lab also has a wealth of advice and reference information for the developing student writer.
