How to get better at writing? Writing a lot helps a lot. I was very bad at communication when I started, but then I just kept writing bad posts and got better.
You want to find the right balance between just writing and reflecting. This is similar to learning programming. In programming, you get really good by just doing a lot of programming. Reflecting on how you have written a program, and trying to get better, is also an important part of it, but is secondary to just doing a lot of programming.
Studying existing materials, like reading textbooks, is also important, but comes third after reflecting on your own output. At least that is my model. I believe this model of first doing then reflecting, then studying existing things applies to basically everything you want to get good at.
