What is great writing?

Posted on by Akshat Rathi

Writing is not just about placing one word after another. Neither are those words just to be placed to give you a grammatically correct sentence. The hope is that those grammatically correct sentences, formed from words placed one after another, also convey great ideas in the best form possible. That is what constitutes great writing.
