Writing badly, more

Writing badly every day will only make you better at writing badly. (I have tested this. It is true.)

Writing well takes study, practice, and lots of trial-and-error with intelligent feedback. Simply spending more hours at the typer won't do it.

Instead, it takes education and feedback from skilled writers like David Hayes, or a course like those offered in person at places like the Gotham Writer's Workshop or online at Poynter.org.
