Hi Steemians
Not everyone who joins Steemit is a good writer, but we have to try. Steemit is a platform where you can read, write and learn. And one of the ways to be successful here is writing. Everyone can do it and it is not impossible or difficult.
If you are interested in writing, you need to develop your writing skills. There are some easy ways to do it and improve yourself.

The first step is reading, because it helps us remember new words and see how to use them. Reading make us memorize new words and sentences that we never used before. And when we start to write, we remember them whenever they are needed. Thats how I feel about it. I read books since my childhood and sometimes I use words or grammar that I never learned before.
The most of us dont have time for reading, but we can do it in the metro or bus. I read books when I wait for my dentist or in the post office. Instead of listening to music and having my monkey mind bothering me, I read books. You can do it for 30 minutes per day to refresh your memory.Imagination! For me thats the most important part when it comes to writing. I write short stories and can do that only when I visualize the scenes. So actually I will be writing what I am imagining and putting thoughts into text.
Join a writing course or a writing group. Talk with others and get feedback on your work. It will encourage you to share your ideas with others and listen to theirs.
Pay attention to new words in movies or news channels. Highlight all the interesting words and even paragraphs in your books. This will expand your vocabulary and build knowledge.
Buy a nice notebook of your choice and write every day. Pick a topic and start writing. It doesn't have to be complex, but will help you train your mind. You can write naturally the way you speak. Nothing wrong with that, but practice regularly.
Edit your content at least 2 times, before you publish it. Because whenever you read it you get new ideas and discover new mistakes. If you are not in hurry to publish it, let it sit for a day and then read it again. Make it memorable by including rich details and give the readers some ideas and advises.
Share your opinion and don’t be afraid to say what you think. Also make it short and less complicated.
I hope you find it helpful, even if you are a good writer :)
