I want to be good in writing in English. It would be a great help for me since i am already working.?
In order to be a good writer, first, you have to be a good reader. Therefore, you should read (= understand, interpret and learn from) books on writing and style, such as the ones cited below. Here are a few reasons: 1. the authors focus on the (A) word, (B) the sentence, (C) the paragraph and (D) the whole text; 2. levels of use: the writers analyze different levels (formal English, colloquial English, etc.); 3. choice of words: denotation/connotation; weak and vigorous verbs; jargon; idioms; wordiness; figurative language, etc. 4. sentences: simple, complex, compound, faulty subordination, weak sentence patterns, etc.; 5. coherence: parallelism, reference, dangling modifiers, confusing shifts, etc. 6. paragraphs: topic sentence, paragraph division , length, etc. 7. organization: limiting a subject, defining purposes, introduction, development, conclusion, etc. These are just some of the topics you should focus on in order to read/write well. Then, practice, practice, practice ... It´s worth it.
Need help writing a sonnet for my english class...?
Have you felt something so strong Like the world falling beneath your feet When you relize you don't belong And that your heart no longer beats When the one that you thought loved you Doesn't love you any more At first you thought you love was true Until he walked right out the door You want to leave it all behind But you can't escape the feeling Cuz it's your heart and not your mind That needs to do the healing Deep down you'll always love him so But maybe it's time to let him go. (I know im sorry it;s horrible but im a beginner, if you want you can change some of the words and stuff) Hope I helped!

How can I become a writer, however my English is not good?
Do you write well, tell a good story, get your point across, in your own language? That is the important part of “writing”. English grammar and spelling can be learned, the art not so much. I’ve tried several times to write books of mystery, science fiction, fantasy, and though I am a native English speaker, apparently I don’t tell a story very well. The language and the art are cousins, not twins.
Can you become a writer without being good in English?
Jokes about certain popular authors aside, your friend will find it hard to make a living at writing if her grammar isn't at least as good as the average writer. (Average *writer*, note, not average *person*.) Publishing companies, like most businesses these days, are run by accountants, who are always looking to get the biggest possible return for the smallest possible investment. They don't want to spend a lot of money fixing grammatical mistakes that the author shouldn't have made in the first place. If you send them a story full of mistakes that would shame a ten-year-old, they will almost certainly reject it. (I say "almost" because you might get lucky and catch the reader in a good mood, so that they take the time to look past the surface and see that the story is quite good. But this process involves a large slice of luck already, so why make things any harder for yourself?) "Isn't this why publishers have editors?" she asks. No, it's not - or not any more. The editor's job is to take a good book and help the author turn it into a great book. It's not to turn a bad book into an average one. They have enough good books being submitted to them that there's no need to waste any time with the bad ones. "But my stories are really good!" she says. Unfortunately, she's not the only brilliant writer in the world. Unless she's on track to win a Nobel prize, there are plenty of other people who write at least as well as her and have better grammar. Given the choice, a publisher will probably pick one of those other people. And they will have the choice, because they accept only about one in a hundred of the manuscripts they receive. Having said all that, grammar is a skill that can be learned. Tell her to start paying attention in English classes, or get hold of a "grammar for dummies" book. And tell her to get some impartial opinions about whether her stories are really as good as she (or you) thinks they are. A lot of teenagers think they're amazing writers, and get a nasty shock the first time they show their work to someone who doesn't feel obliged to say anything nice about it. EDIT: Dom - what do you think writing a novel is, if it's not a "professional writing career"? (If you're writing it with the aim of publication, that is.) And you need to know the rules before you can get away with bending or breaking them. (You see what I did there?)
Does getting an English degree make you a better writer?
From the perspective of an HR consultant who needs to know clearly what to expect that people have learned in their major (and someone that does a healthy amount of non-fiction freelance writing): English as a major is about literature. It's primarily about interpreting literature. You will read a lot of great writing and some people argue that will make you a better writer as a result. I'm not sure that I buy that entirely. English majors (as a group) are indeed better writers than are many other majors though. Creative Writing (as has been mentioned) is about creative writing. It's usually a graduate program leading to an MFA but can be a specialty or minor in an English program and some few colleges offer it as a bachelor's degree. You WILL improve your creative writing ability in this major because you will write a lot. Communication, Journalism, and Technical Writing also create effective writers but generally of the non-fiction and practical variety as opposed to fiction writers. Consider this: How much would a degree in history help a writer of historical fiction? How about a degree in physics for the scifi writer or political science for the spy thriller writer? Wouldn't a crime/murder mystery writer benefit a lot from a degree in criminal justice? Readers these days are very well informed. They don't tolerate errors in fact (or fantasy) in their reading. It's far easier to do research for the writing if you have a background in the field. If I were hiring a fiction writer I'd look at a couple possibilities for the best preparation. First I'd want to see some quality writing - there's no getting around that one. Then I'd want a very general education such as a BA in Liberal Arts or a genre specific education such as a BS in Physics for a SciFi writer. I'd expect a minor or some coursework in creative writing but it's not nearly as important as that writing sample. Another huge plus would be a good bundle of life experiences. We write best about those things we know first hand. Now, one really important reason a lot of prospective writers do English as a major. You can get a job as a teacher or journalist while you try to break into writing fiction. Making a living as a writer is well known to be a difficult path that takes a little time for most people.
