It takes a good understanding of what the original content is about, along with acknowledging it.
Reading about the topic until you feel comfortable.

I learn about the subject, read over the original content, and understand it. I close out all of my windows, only leaving one for me to write in. Then I begin. I only re-open windows when necessary

Being able to find the most relevant and credible research material to base your writing on is one of the most important skills you can develop as a writer, as well as the ability to edit and revise constantly until your work shines.

I would tell any aspiring writer to keep trying to write until you are good at it and don't stop until someone agrees to pay you to write or publishes your work online.

You have to know how to speak to your reader. You can't just state facts, the way you write has to convey information in an entertaining way that makes the person want to continue reading.

You should have the ability to research thoroughly over multiple sources and interpret what you're reading on those sites or publications into a new way. That doesn't mean you are literally rewriting the content so much as saying it in a better way.

It takes some time of writing out of inspiration to become a good writer. I must say that it is not always easy to get to that level, but it is not impossible for I have seen people grow to the level.

language and writing skills are the basic necessities of a writer. Apart from good language and writing skills, you also need to have the ability to do research, understand the audience, become your own critic, and market your product. You must also understand the various types of writing.
To become a good writer, you must also be a good reader, without reading no one will become a writer.

I am trying to be one good article writer for I don’t have the creative juices to write fiction. However, I cannot describe a good writer maybe except that he can produce a good article that is worth reading. Based on what I am doing since I am pretending to be a good writer, the facts should be solid and confirmed. It is important that the information you include in the article is factual and not debatable. With the sentence construction, it is not too short nor too long in regularity. A mix of short and long sentences are better to read. Of course, the choice of words is also important so you need to have a wide vocabulary which I don’t have.
