------------------------------
No writer wants their prose to come off as weak or amateurish, but spotting bad writing in your own work can be difficult. Remember that writing is a skill that you will continue to strengthen as you become more experienced, so taking the time to develop your craft will go a long way. To help you spot these weak writing techniques and learn how to recognize bad writing, I go over common writing mistakes (with examples) that you can quickly fix to make your writing sing on the page.
