[quote=Anonymous]NP. Agree with others, but also wanted to suggest that you get some feedback from someone who is a good writer, perhaps a communications colleague or friend who is a strong writer. Then remedy accordingly. For example,
Poor grammar? --&gt; find fun ways to improve your grammar (not sure how)
Weak choices of words? --&gt; increase your vocabulary
Ideas don't hang together or flow? --&gt; work on structuring sentences and paragraphs.

All these have different remedies. You could get self help books for these various issues--and work on one thing at a time, bit by bit.

I consider myself a strong writer --it stemmed from my father imparting to me the importance of good writing, being a solid reader, and lots of jobs where I used this writing skill. Learning and teaching Latin was also an experience that made my grammar excellent. (However, I don't want to come across as smug; there are others with a real gift for writing which I lack, and I can always benefit from a excellent editor.) Learning Latin isn't everyone's cup of tea, but there could be other ways of improving grammar without it being a chore....
Anyways, good for you, OP!![/quote]
