Personal Skills in Writing

To have good and exceptional writing skills can help a writer gain fluency, comprehensibility and creativity in writing.  The aim of writing skills is to help writers master those skills so that their works are readable, not just by them, but also by other speakers of that language.  Writing skill is defined as abilities that help a writer gather their thoughts and make them into meaningful words that are readable and understandable.  Below are lists of different types of personal writing skills

1.  Comprehensibility – it is one’s ability to write in an understandable and meaningful manner.  It ensures that the writings communicate a message or information.

2.  Flexibility – flexibility in writing skills means that you are able to identify the linear sequence of sounds.  It also means that you master the writing motions as well as the shapes of the letter; recognizing every bit of the words, writing faster, and recognizing the need to put space between words.

3.  Creativity – this is one’s ability to write whatever goes on in your mind.  For example, you want to write about your favorite books, the best music you like, and many other topics that pops up on your mind.

To make your work an exceptional one, there are some things you should keep in mind.  First, you should avoid wordiness.  Too many words having the same meaning could make your work erroneous, and hard to understand.  Second, write for your audience.  Use common terms that your audience can easily understand.  Avoid using jargon and not widely used terms.  Lastly, always check your grammar by proofreading.  Don’t just rely on the word spell checker.
