Just mere writing is not enough; the grammar of a sentence is the most important facet that the author or journalist should take cognizance of when he is reporting.
I never try to use the present tense to report any past events or experiences. I use a semi colon to separate the main clause from the supporting clause in a compound sentence. I never use the 1st person in most of my reports and reviewing. I change the direct speech to indirect speech in my paragraph of a story. I try to keep to one single tense all through my narrative. I love using adverbs in all my sentences.
I try to keep my sentences short but not too short in all my stories. I write paragraphs with a lot of complex data so I have to use the simplest form that a sentence can be written in. Writing well is just not enough; you have to read widely and extensively. You have to keep in mind the syllables of a sentence entirely, not just of a word when you are writing.
I don’t trust most other people’s claims of writing and reporting well – they don’t know that they don’t know writing well enough largely.
