Two of the blog posts by Ann Handley are about the ways to improve writing skills. The first one that I have read is called “9 Qualities Of Good Writing”. In the beginning of this blog post, the writer first introduces us the ways to improve our writing skills. She says that everybody is capable of good writing, or at least better writing. I believe that this sentence of her is true, because she also mentions that everyone writes in a part of their lives including the things they wrote on social media. I think that everyone has a talent of writing inside of them that they usually don’t use, or show. In this blog post she always mentions how good writing should be the kind of simple writing that everyone can understand, and it should carry importance. She also quotes one of her professors’ words saying “Assume the reader knows nothing. But don’t assume the reader is stupid.” I agree with this quote because I think that a writer should describe their feelings, or stories really good, so that people who don’t know them can understand what is being told in the writing. The second blog post that I have read from her is called “13 Writing Rules”. In this blog post we can see the more general kind of the first blog post. She lists thirteen important writing rules. I really liked how before listing the rules she says “Everybody Writes” I believe that she is definitely correct about this as I mentioned earlier that everyone writes on social media nowadays. I really liked her first rule that says “There is no way to write.” I believe that by that she tries to mean that writing should be something personal, and should be natural.
