    There are many free ebooks provided in the internet to develop your skills.

    But the most important things that you have to consider is,

    1) Every day try to learn atleast 5 words. If you are familiar with a book called "Word Power Made Easy" then it is really good in developing your vocabulary skilss

    2) Try writing in english every day(Must). Generally try blogging because you need to update daily and hence you can use the new words or sentense that you have learned in your blog.

    3) try to speak english passages, not reading.......just create a paragraph about a topic and then record. Then after that you need to listen to your speech. This really builds strength in your sub consious mind.

    4)Try to write poems or short sayings. Generally you get many synonyms if you try to created these sayings.



    These are the basics. Then you need to know about the topic and should gather content. This is available for free in internet. hence using these methods, you can increase your writing skills

    I agree that you can read books and take classes to improve your skills. But I find that the best thing to do is to write. Write every day even if it is not for a public website; start a personal and private blog and update it every day. As time passes, your writing skills will improve. Every now and then, have someone else read your stories and give you feedback about your writing because you might be making mistakes and not know about it.

    Cheers!

    Here's how I've done it (I'm no native English speaker/writer either):
    - Get yourself some good grammar book and read it
    - Start writing
    - Read a lot (in English)
    - Write a lot

    The most important thing is write - that's the way to learn. Start a blog or write to forums, but just keep writing.

    Not at all a bad idea ! :D but i want to reach to a level where i would not require anybody else to write articles for my sites . I Dont want to be a Super Artice writer . I Have learnt a lot abt seo ,i got almost all the tools in the world but am not a good Writer and i cannot produce my own Unique Articles .

    Once i reach to that level i will be very happy .

    "i"?

    "Offcourse"?

    "2"?

    Of course I do!

    Give me a topic or niche, and ask me to write a paragraph or two about it. My mind completely goes blank, and I struggle to frame meaningful sentences.

    Ok. Thanks.

    Those dots should be put whenever you write. And don't forget good grammar in emails too ;)
