Language - Never Been Easy But We Have To Conquer It
Once a while the English language just put me down. Some times I feel so defeated. I can write pretty good English generally, but when it comes to time to write a formal report, I just keep on editing, editing and editing, never feel comfortable to deliver. Today is one of those days. God bless me!!!
Maybe I need go back to a language school. Or somehow find a way to make it better. I definitely need do something.
Here are some hints from internet:

This is incredibly important if you've got a deadline coming up. You won't have anything to write if you haven't already done your research before it's time to write. Once you have the research out of the way, the writing part is actually really easy. [/color][/i]

[b][i][color=#548dd4]5 Write for clarity not quality.[/color][/i][/b][i][color=#548dd4] When you're trying to get something written quickly, you need to stop worrying about the quality of it.

You can turn it back on once you've finished, but while you're just getting words on the page, it will only slow you down.[/color][/i][/li][li][i][color=#548dd4]Don't worry about your own personal voice (even if you're writing a story or poem). All that will come through when you polish it.
