[Good Writing]It takes a lot of work.

To be a good writer, you must know, and have the skills that good writers have. In my definition of Good Writing, everything must be perfect.
There should be proper grammar, correct use of punctuation marks, periods, capitalization and spelling. You should be able to get the reader’s full attention and you should be able to get your point across to the reader. Also, your paragraphs should all be able to connect, meaning they should all be able to come together. Personally, if something doesn’t catch my eye by the first paragraph, I usually loose interest in the whole thing.
If I’m in class, and the teacher says we have to write a timed essay, it would sometimes be hard to do good writing, because you’re rushing. Also, if the topic is boring, it’s hard for me to write a good paper, because the topic is not something I’m feeling. I believe that if a person were to go home and write essays, just to write them, then that too would help them have good writings. I was doing some research on the internet about good writing skills, and Helen Garner, (a famous Australian writer), said: “…You've got to practice every day. It's like practicing an instrument if you're a musician or keeping your tools sharpened. After many years of daily practice… you actually build up a competence.” Meaning, if you want to become a good writer you should practice more, and you’ll get better.It takes a lot to become a good writer. Maybe if I took time, I could have some good writings.
