Many times, we throw our work away before we give it a chance. We must learn to read our writing as if it is not our own and try to see it from the eyes of someone else that is not emotionally invested in the work. It may sound strange but it is important to become a good reader and the only way to do this is through practice.
If I only had one paragraph in which to convince someone what is necessary to become a better writer, I would tell him or her practice. Nothing can take the place of practice and it takes a lot of practice for one to become good. I would tell them practice on many different styles and to write about many different things. I would tell them to turn off the editor in their brains and just free write for a while. I would also tell them to try to make this as much fun as possible.
Writing is easy and writing is difficult....
I would refer them to Stephen King's novel, "On Writing" in which he explores this topic. If the book is not readily available, I would recommend his article called "The Writing Life" in which he explains that practice is the only thing that will get the writer to the place he or she wants to be. He states, "The only things that can teach writing are reading, writing and the semi-domestication of one's muse. These are all activities one must pursue alone" (King). He should know.

Company Is One That Is: Achieving its stated financial and strategic objectives is an above-average industry performer is evidencing growth in firm's sales and market share is Positively viewed by shareholders and customers Shows Continuing improvement in operating performance (Thompson et al., 2006) The problem is that immersed in the hurly-burly of routine existence, a company may be unaware of its objective performance; it may under -- or -- over-estimate its results
These young men were not immersed in the high modernist traditions of Virginia Woolf and T.S. Eliot: rather, they were immersed in the experience of war and their own visceral response to the horrors they witnessed. Thus a multifaceted, rather than strictly comparative approach might be the most illuminating way to study this period of history and literature. Cross-cultural, comparative literary analysis is always imperfect, particularly given the linguistic challenges
As a mystery, the genre of the book is accelerated by the forced pauses in its revelation to the reader. The emails that arrive are actually in the form of emails from characters to one another. This way, the reader is entirely immersed in the mystery and the lives of the characters touched directly by the mystery. In fact, the purchaser of the book never knows when the emails will arrive,

When did it become clear that Swift couldn't possibly go any further in his

Merriman goes on to define that connection as being one of "social inequalities." But more to the heart of the matter, however, is the difference in ideologies -- ideologies that transcended the economic, political,
The student should also develop a checklist and a timeline. This is akin to the process a chef would use to run a kitchen -- planning, prepping, cooking and serving a banquet for example is a similar process. One program that directly offers an internship is the culinary arts program at Anne Arundel Community College in Maryland (De Sanctis, 2006). This school offers a 10-week internship course on Italian culture
