The only way to become a better writer is to write and write and write again. You need to practice regularly, become comfortable writing, and try new ideas for improving your work.

If your life doesn’t provide frequent writing opportunities, you can create them. Here are a few to get you started:

• Volunteer to draft a report at work. (You’ll also rack up Brownie points with your boss and colleagues.)
• Make a long, chatty letter your gift to an elderly relative. (Far more desirable to the recipient than another object, and you only have to pay for the stamp.)
• Send a witty classnote to your college alumni magazine. (You’ve been meaning to stay in touch with your old friends.)

Write at least once a week. If you get to Sunday, and you haven’t written anything longer than a brief reply to an email all week, set aside time to write. Write a long letter to a friend or play around with an idea for a short story. What you write matters much less than the fact that you sit down and WRITE.
