I would consider myself a reasonably competent writer, English is my first language and I've been writing for years. I still, when I submit something for review, get it back with comments on punctuation (I tend to abuse commas) and phrasings, the occasional incorrect word and the odd spelling mistake. That's even with Word's spelling and grammar checks on. Perfect writing, without an editor, is hard. Damn hard.If anyone doesn't believe me, write up a short article and ask someone to edit it for you. 🙂
I think this is a critical key. Write something, practice writing more and more. And after you have written something - have a friend, colleague, co-worker, somebody edit what you have written. The editing is a huge part of the learning process and it can shed some light on how the article will be received.
