What Do We Mean by ¨Good Writing¨ – Reflection

Everyone perceives writing differently from one another.  One may think a writing is very well written while another may think it could use some touch ups.  There are some qualities that can help someone determine what a good piece of writing looks like.  Good writing will be clear, concise, correct, and compelling.  To start off, you need to understand what the writer is trying to say or make you aware of.  You also need to be able to understand what they are trying to say without other topics getting in the way.  There should not be any random words in the writing.  When you are reading, you want to make sure that the writer is using the correct information or evidence and not making mistakes.  Lastly, see how interested you are in the writing.  You should be able to pay attention and want to keep reading.  These four general qualities can help someone determine what good writing should look like.
