Developing Writing SkillsDeveloping writing skills includes embracing several interests and becoming avid readers. Although non-readers consider picking up a book a chore, it is important to begin reading topics of interest first. As the love for reading increases, you can introduce varied subjects. Good writing reflects a writer’s interest in the topic. Once we shift from self to global awareness, or from a few to varied interests, connecting and finding patterns between subjects stimulates our intellect. There is a fine thread that travels from topic to topic. Psychology, philosophy, anthropology, political science, and even business connect at the human level. All topics relate to the effects on human life and interaction. Every subject has affected each one of us. Even in the study of science, for example, in global warming, we predominately read about the effects on humans. So too, we learn about the effect of psychology or business on humans. Once we are interested in the global good or once we develop global awareness, all subjects become of interest making us avid readers and good writers.
