Answer:
This is a little hard to summarize, but I hope this helps! Here's what he says writers must do for good writing. They must...
-write clearly and logically, so the writer should think clearly and logically.If they cannot do this, they should practice it by taking on a particular problem.
-improve their range of vocabulary, so they should read widely and carefully. They should keep a notebook and write down striking words and expressions.A good dictionary is also necessary for exact meaning and use of words.
-regularly and frequently practice. After all, "writing is 99% hard work and 1% inspiration".He thinks, for even famous writers, discipline is most necessary and inspiration plays a rare role.
-read newspapers carefully so they can find examples of human joys and tragedies which will give ideas for writing. They should also keep a notebook for writing down ideas.
-write the opening paragraph in such a way that is is able to catch a reader immediately. It should contain the gist of the topic. One may start with a paradoxical point of view, but it should be cleared away in the rest of the writing.
-not put in their personal problems which might not interest the readers.He also advises against the writer forcing their personal impression on the reader through writing, and that they shouldn't try and imitate another's style. They should not not employ "jargons, officialese, obsolete expressions, rhetorical expression, and empty verbiage".
