What is good writing? What does it look like?

To me, good writing always comes from the heart, it is an expression of yourself and it enables you to show your own personality with a unique twist. While incorporating good organization and professionalism, an excellent piece of writing will grab a reader’s attention. Good writers leave an impact on their audiences’ minds and cause them to think and ask questions, it is very thought provoking. A good writer can make any subject or topic interesting through the way that they approach it. They also bring their own ideas, outlooks, or opinions about whatever subject they decide to talk about in their work.

            Whenever I read an article and I consider it to be great, it means it has gone above my expectations, it stands out to me, it causes me to visualize and create pictures in my mind, and it grabs me emotionally. The writer’s main thoughts are communicated efficiently through their work and it is well structured. Good writers incorporate techniques such as metaphors or analogies to expand their ideas and causes to reader to relate to it more. More mechanically speaking, the writing should have fluency within it’s sentences, few grammatical errors, and all ideas should flow in an orderly fashion.
