<p>All of us here on Steem want to learn how to write better, and to that end, I encountered a tip that actually really helps you to learn how to improve your writing. It seems counter-intuitive at first, though.</p>
<blockquote>Read bad writing.</blockquote>
<p>While most people recommend reading good quality writing to learn how to write better, this actually makes it more difficult. Good writing seems effortless, and it is hard to see how it works. We also become discouraged, since we never see the early drafts, or the whole chunks of text that got left out of the finished product.</p>
<p>Bad writing, on the other hand, stands out. And when we see it, we can understand the mistakes the author made, and see how we would make it better. So, it becomes a learning experience. </p>
<p>So, go and read something badly written! (If in doubt, I am sure you can find plenty in my blog)</p>
