"A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people." -- Thomas Mann, Essays of Three Decades As others have mentioned, deliberate practice is really the only ticket. I bet you write a ton of email, start practicing there. Or your text messages. The more you do it the more you'll discover things that work for you. Also accept that it takes a preposterous amount of time to write well. Reading books on the subject of writing by writers can be comforting in that regard. I'm thinking particularly about Steven King's "On Writing" and "Draft No. 4" by John McPhee. Also, reading high quality writing is worthwhile. If you mostly read on the internet and you pick-up a really well written book the contrast can be startling. One unconventional source of great writing I recommend is US Supreme Court opinions [1]. I find almost every single one to be very well written. [1]: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/ https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/
