- yashchandra 14y agoStart writing as much as you can. Put it on paper. Read it. Get it read from friends. Start reading books, articles whatever. A good way to get better at writing is to write. Do not worry about grammar or mistakes at first. Start a blog may be.

- LarryMade 14y agoBack in my BBS days, I ran a continuing story board. Something funny where one could knock off a few paragraphs and have fun writing it. Playing in that medium probably helped me more than most. It wasn't just me writing, so sometimes it was a challenge to twist the plot against others to something I wanted. It taught me a lot of phrasing, typing, and general grammar. Today blogging is good, you just need to get into writing more than posting funny pictures. :-D
