What techniques improved your writing skills significantly?
 
Answered by Robert Zenhausern, Quora, on October 29, 2022, in the section titled, “Skilled English Writing”.

1. When you are writing, you must balance showing you know the material with assuming your reader understands the material.
2. If you are writing a dissertation, you must show what you know.
3. If you are writing an article, assume you are writing to an informed audience, and you will write more concisely. [this is a tricky balancing act]
4. Can you write so that a 12-year-old could understand the logic, if not the mechanics?
