Were we to write down all of English's rules of grammar, we'd fill a book. 
Were we to write all of the rules for generating well-written constructions,
we'd probably fill a library. The good thing is that our brains are incredibly
adept at processing language. Without thinking much, we can simply sit
around making grammatically correct sentences until the cows come home (or
until <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorless_green_ideas_sleep_furiously">colorless green ideas sleep furiously</a>).

<p>
But, we've also spent a lifetime practicing our grammar. We haven't spent
it trying to write exceptional works. To overcome this, we need a training
program to get our brains in shape.

<P>
First, we have to be able to recognize good writing. Then, we must exercise
by writing and checking to see if it's any good. The only way to teach your
brain about good writing, is to read a slew of good writing. While reading,
try to edit their writing (What feels wrong? Can you identify why it feels
wrong? Are there better constructions? If not, what makes it good?). 

<p>
With our editor's eye, we can evaluate our writing. All that's left is
to push ourselves to write every day.  Some suggest trying a different form of
writing every day; I like keeping a daily journal. I believe every day brings
something worth writing about, we just have to be smart enough to find it. 

<p>
While this program can be laid out in two paragraphs, it still involves 
a mind-bogglingly large amount of work. This is usually what prevents
people from being great writers. It's too damn much work.
