Remember that it is all about choice. Some people like to do marathon and others like to do sprint and they are good at it. Writing is similar. Your choice is different from others choice. You like to write letters/emails, or write short stories or essays. All these things are various forms of writing. All are different and need different bent of mind. I don't know anyone who has jumped from being a good letter writer and shifting it to writing a novel or fiction or even non fiction. These kinds are difficult to find.
Do you wnat to improve yoru writing. You need to read well first. Listen to the music in your ears. Only then you can be a good writer. Listening well will make you a better writer and also a better reader. If you start to work for information alone in reading then you cannot listen to the music that it gives. Write daily and don't forget to edit it. Editing is where the whole game is. Good editing must never be overlooked. They must be a part of any good writing. Where do you acquire editing skills. First you have to make up your mind that editing and writing are two different things. Editing has proof reading, checking the facts and improving the grammar, the tone and diction throughout your writing. How do you do that. There are lots of interesting and exhaustive books available in the market which teaches you to edit and write well. Buy them. Life gets shorter as you get old. So get old and write faster. Some science fiction writer was asked what would he had done in his life if he had more time to live. HE said that he would write faster and more. THis is the message.
Adieu!
