Writing skills

I genuinely want to improve my writing skills. I can't write as well as I speak. The first thing I did was to look up Google for 'Great Writing Tips'. Two points that I remember are to use the active voice and to keep sentences short. In fact, I'm trying to do exactly that in this post :)

Another obvious piece of advice is to write frequently. I plan to do that as well. I think I've adhered to the first 2 rules fairly well till now. Let me know if I didn't.
