How I did it: Through my work, I've had an opportunity to write daily, which has made a big difference. I've also had a chance to work with more experienced writers and to learn from them, and to receive regular feedback on my writing.

Lessons & tips: Read books about writing
Learn to use a style guide - it will make you a better writer
Write regularly
Look back on your old work - it will show you how much you've improved

Resources: Writing Tools by Roy Peter Clark is a great book for competent writers who are looking to push for that extra edge. The content's also online here:
