After all, you are "speaking" to your reader through words. Write like you are speaking, or telling a story to someone sitting next to you and you will do well.
Like the above poster, i listen to alot of podcasts for excellent content but i also do a whole lot of writing to hone in on my writing techniques. The more you write, the easier writing becomes for you. You will also get a lot less mind blocks if you listen or read other people's content. It's all about how you massage your writing mindset. It definitely is a practice makes perfect scenario. If your writing skills are poor, take a good English Reading and Grammar course to help get your skills up to par.
