Ask HN: How do you get better at writing, blog posts or otherwise?

4 pointsby daryllxdabout 7 years ago
Hi guys, how do you get better at writing?(General&#x2F;tactical advice welcome.)<p>In the past few months, I&#x27;ve written a lot of drafts, but it&#x27;s so hard to publish posts. I just can&#x27;t get sentence construction (for now, I hope). I have a structure of points I want to make, but I somehow just keep on writing the same boring sentences. Any actionable tips, books, blogs, whatever to help?

Practice, feedback, and reading a lot of writing of the sort you want to emulate.<p>The last point is subtle but important. After reading a trilogy by an author with a distinctive writing style I&#x27;ll find myself unconsciously writing and even speaking in a voice similar to theirs.<p>Publish even what&#x27;s imperfect so you can get feedback. Oh, and short sentences are good: they&#x27;re easy to understand!

Without publishing, it is impossible to write blog posts. Publishing is more important than sentence structure to readers.

In my opinion, I think the better way to write better is to write a personal journal. Only for you.
