Good writing is writhing that follows the rules of grammer and has a good topic and length. A person who produces good writing is someone who puts alot of time and care into their writing. With enough effort, time, and care, anyone can become a good writer.
P.S. Good is a dead word! You're not supposed to use them Mrs Hansen! You should know, you're an English teacher.
I believe that anyone who puts their thoughts and energy into writing and does their best is a good writer, no matter what skill level they are. However if you put no thought or effort into you will never become a good writer and stay at the same level of which you already are.
Dane would like to tell you: you are happy to wake up and have folgers in your cup, but really you should be happy that chuck norris didn't kill you in your sleep
If a good writer is satisfied and proud of their own writing, then that is the definition of good writing. Anyone can produce good writing. Good writing can include any form of writing the author chooses. For example, many published authors have their own styles of writing, which makes them unique and it also makes their writing interesting to read. I think that if a writer is proud of their writing then, that is truly the definition of good writing.
James, You need to read Flowers for Algernon. Is that good writing? It is a classic book with a strong message. Take a look at and then discuss what really good writing is.
Kasen, I agree with your statement about thought being an important part of good writing. Thinking is becoming a lost art form. Not enough poeple really think about what they say in wriring or in speech today. It is a sad state of affairs. I am so glad that I woke up this morning. Dane has a sage piece of advice there.
I agree...i find articles to become rather monotonous; ppl who write should put their heart, soul, and thoughts into what they say or write about. I suppose it's mostly politics and newspapers than seem to have caught my attention. Yet there are still a few authors like Jodi Picoult and Margaret George, who have done an excellent job.
Morgan- I love the idea of pride in writing. All writers should write until a piece is something the writer can take pride in. Style is also important; each student that I teach develops a unique style that is easily recognized. Great observations.

Good writing is a piece of work in which is easy to read and possibly fun to read. I agree with Kasen that it doesn't matter what skill level it is as long as it's their thoughts and ideas. Anyone can produce good writing, whether it be an essay, poem, short story, etc. Anyone can become a good writer just by learning the rules of grammar, flow, etc. (And Jimmy, you spelled grammar wrong in your blog, get it right and leave Mrs. Hansen alone about the word good, hypocrite, okay just kidding.)
good writing is when you can read something and you totally understand it, and it relates to you in some way. like right now im reading the sixth harry potter books, i dont even know what it is but i feel a connection with harry. probably because i have lost one of my family members to. anyways, anyone can write but to write well they have to but everything into it. most of the famous editors in the world live to write and they are the ones that truly succedd. and right good stories.
Thanks for defending me, Jamie and thanks for your comment about everyone being able to write something good. It is what I am striving for this year. I would love to have 140 good writers this year. That would be incredible.
You are right, Vanessa, 'good' writing shows that the author put his/her heart and soul into it. Writing takes effort and is not easy for everyone. Practice makes perfect and we all need more practice.
Good writing is taking the time and using correct grammar. Good writing is when Mrs. Hansen tells you that you should take honors in high school. That puts a smile on anyones face. If you just pay attention and work hard I think you'll be a good writer. Everyone has different writing abilities some are really good and others have to work a little harder. If you try I think you will sucseed in writing.
