just write poorly. continue to write poorly, in public, until you can write better.

i believe that everyone should write in public. get a blog. or use squidoo or tumblr or a microblogging site. use an alias if you like. turn off comments, certainly—you don’t need more criticism, you need more writing.

do it every day. every single day. not a diary, not fiction, but analysis. clear, crisp, honest writing about what you see in the world. or want to see. or teach (in writing). tell us how to do something.

write like you talk. often.
