An important trait of good writers

I have emphasized earlier on importance of decent writing skills from a career perspective. Extending the same dialogue is a post called “What is a Copywriter’s Most Valuable Trait?” at Copyblogger. While it is written for copy writers, the lesson applies equally to all kinds of writers be it normal professionals to tech writers and bloggers. The post rightly says:

“Understanding your reader has to be the most important part of any writer’s job, but it’s especially true when writing persuasive copy. Knowing what a reader is likely to be thinking helps you to anticipate and mirror those thoughts, offer clarification where it is needed, and build trust.”

Thanks Chris, for that insightful post.
