Consider the many luminaries who can't write their way out of missing an exam -- they hire ghost writers to do their writing for them. And consider the few who need to write, but realize it's not their strong suit. What do they do? They do what the very best writers do -- they have an editor review their work BEFORE it's published. With suitable financial resources (and some smarts), even extremely mediocre writers can seem as skilled as the best. Actually, folks who can’t write well can make it seem as if they certainly can.

I think a love for writing is far more important that being a good writer. I know good writers who never get anywhere because their heart is not it. I say the heck with sentence structure, grammar, and even spelling; Write like nobody is ever going to read it. Use poor writers don't want to put all the editors and proof readers out of business now do we? Writing is a skill that can be learned, and blogging is a great way to hone writing skills.

Good writing skills will help any type of writing. Knowing how to draw your readers in and make them want to keep reading are just as useful in blogging as in other forms of writing. ‘Heck, yeah’ – you couldn’t have said it better.
