What makes "good" writing?

A good writing contains clear ideas and voice, sentences that flow with minor or no errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, capitalization and paragraphing. In addition, variety of words to suit different audience is very important. Good writing goes through many stages of writing: prewriting, writing, revising, editing and at last, publishing. As the writing gets revised and edited several times, it will be able to develop good thesis and introduction, body and conclusion. It is crucial that the writing is easy to follow and has a clear voice. If the writing is not organized, the readers will not be able to understand the writer's point. Therefore, following the writing process and keeping the 6 writing traits in mind while writing and organizing your work before publishing is the key to develop a good writing.
