The Right Writing Style

I don't know anything formal about writing. I took nothing more than the requisite English classes in high school and college. I didn't score particularly high on the English section (or the math section, lest you get the wrong idea) of the SAT's. To be frank, I barely scored mediocrely (perhaps my use of that word is part of the reason why) on either section. My entire trick to writing decently involves attempting to write what I'd enjoy reading. Most of the time I almost succeed, but not quite.

However, for much better tips on how to write well, check out Wide Lawns. When I read her tips, a few of them were things I'd figured out on my own, a couple were things I realized I'd been taught in Composition 101 in college, and several just made total sense even though I'd never heard them before.

This is the type of post that you want to print out and put up on your bulletin board that hangs above your desk. Now all I need is a bulletin board. And a desk. Oh, and an apartment big enough for a desk. Until then, I'm going to make a more conscious effort to write in a more Wide Lawnserly way.
