Our main focus on this channel is reading — but today, let's talk about writing. How can you improve your writing? Are there quick tips, life hacks, and secret formulae?

The truth is, you'll only be a better writer if you practice. I can (and do) give some advice, but writing is hard work. That's true for students, for working professionals, and for novelists. All of us have to commit to building good habits in order to make ourselves better writers.
