Fire and Knowledge has pulled together a nice guide on writing principles based on two of my favorite books, On Writing Well and Strunk and White. It answers four key questions many of us ask about writing. The appendices include Orwell’s Six Rules of Clear English and Mark Twain’s Rules of Story Writing.
One of the best ways to get better is to write, write, write. That’s why blogging makes a great tool for writers. I start my weekdays with at least two blog entries: One here and one at InformIT. Then, when I find an interesting topic and have the time, I also post at Bionic Ear.
Another way to practice — and it only takes 60 seconds a day — is with Steven Wilbur’s exercises posted on his web site. Write away!
