 be a library nerd
I learned a lot about how to write essays by walking around university libraries and reading academic journals. Professionals break the rules all the time! You know, rules such as don’t use first or second person, don’t end a sentence with a preposition, don’t use contractions, etc. Once I realized that rules serve as mere guidelines, my writing became unhindered and began to flow more naturally. In addition, reading is a great way to learn different writing styles and to build a vocabulary, both of which facilitate clear expression.
