Writing is not that easy. For some people, they find it hard as compared to talking. Some are optimistic in writing. They say that the more they write, the better it is. Hence, practice makes perfect. What about you? Do you think MYLOT will help you improve on your writing?

I am new to mylot, but have had a lot of success on Gather.com and learned a ton about writing there. I am not sure that mylot is a place to hone writing skills or not, but I would love to see it become that way for me. It seems mylot is more of a chat space, especially since you cannot copy/paste until you have 500 points. That is holding me back from participating here as much. I am sure it deters a lot of writers.

I would say mylot is a very light venue for discussions.

I think I'm a pretty good writer. Hehe. For me, it comes with practice and inspiration (or motivation). Therefore, when I'm not in the mood, I couldn't write well. I think myLot can be a good practice ground for writers or for aspiring ones, especially when topics are well chosen (topics that would merit a good response). Otherwise, there's nothing much to say or to practice on. I have noticed that my writing has improved (in time) here, and my use of English as well.

As a full time writer, I do believe that practice improves your writing skills, making you a better writer. I think some natural talent and imagination also has to go into writing though. It isn't all about the grammatical. Some people enjoy it; others don't. I have heard from several myLotter's that writing discussions and responses on here has greatly improved their writing ability. I am also a firm believer in write what you know. It will make it so much easier. Nice topic.
