Writing is seemingly one of the most simple things we do, yet the act provides a lifelong challenge. At an early age, we learn to put words together and form sentences. But writing “the strawberry is tasty” is not going to win a Pulitzer. The skills of being a good writer are not easy to come by; it takes years of practice and thousands of iterations to be revered.
