Writing, while not always easy, is not magic. It’s simply a skill–a valuable skill–that improves with consistent effort. Because we devote large amounts of time communicating in writing (e.g. emails, blogs, reports, business plans, marketing plans, evaluations, studies, research, assignments), learning to become a strong writer will increase your confidence and also make you an asset with employers.
