Default Re: Ask me anything about college writing

[ QUOTE ]
your comments on the following ways to improve one's writing?

a) read many well written essays and books
b) freely write on any topic on regular basis (every week or so?)
c) read "how to write" type books

any recommendations/feedbacks would be appreciated

You write as much as possible (literally about anything) and ask for people's opinions who are better at it than you, or in the case of a class you ask the teacher. Message boards are actually a great place to start if you are in a thread with any decent conversation. I don't put much effort into it here, but I post at other boards that generally care a whole lot more about the quality of posts and that has helped a lot.
