@sillysaurus I'm not sure if you're a book-reader. I am reading your comment and I am seeing the exact person this book is talking about. If you like to read about non-fiction writing, I suggest "On Writing Well" by William Zinsser.

Here's the amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Well-30th-Anniversary-Edition/...

Just like coding, the "shortest" path to becoming a good writer is practice - practice everyday.
