Learning to Write Well

I'm occasionally asked about starting a blog. The key stumbling block isn't technical, it's writing.
Writing well is an art, a craft, and work, even writing on a blog. But it's good work that sharpens you!

And I've convinced Bible teachers need to be good writers as well as speakers.

Fortunately there are some good places on the web to help improve your writing skills. Leo of ZenHabits has launched a delightful website called WriteToDone aimed at sharpening your technique.

He’s had a few great posts already:
