    Talent, practice, and a decent editor.

    In this order, I think, to begin:

    (1) Deep reporting;
    (2) First-rate grasp of grammar and style;
    (3) Ability to properly structure your piece, both within paragraphs and from paragraph to paragraph, all the way through.

    I will bring some of my writings, Im not good but I want to improve, maybe some of you can give me some basic advises.

    Since my english is limited, I always try to write simple and direct.

    Sports Guy still thinks you're pimping yourself too much.

    Haha I made a c on my English 102 class, I did a 6 pages final essay, I was so happy to have it done, my professor told me to re-do the whole thing, that it was all wrong so I did it and I got the c.

    Makes me wonder how bad or good is my Spanish writing

    One way to become a better writer is to make sure your punctuation is correct in proper sentence structure, like making sure you have a period instead of a comma at the end of the sentence.
