Correctness and Connection
Applying the principles and conventions of correct writing is largely a matter of bridging the gap between the writer and the reader; the cleaner the writing is; in terms of punctuation, grammar, and structure; the more fluid the communication power of writer to reader it is.
Without the methods and applications of correct writing, communication becomes difficult to master let alone share, especially if your audience is a wide range of intellectuals and theoreticians in the making.
Make a good impression by applying critical writing skills as well as creative, social skills that put lasting effects on the readers...don't force the reader to play Mad-Libs with your work when they have no time to start filling-in-the-blanks for you. Have the sense to remember that a sentence will make or break you in the world of online communities such as newsblogs or op-eds.
Sitting down and writing what you think is not correct writing. The ability to function as a critical thinker and writer is determined by the fruits of your labor, and there are no exceptions if you are at the top of the writing community -especially- if you are at the top.
Although, it might be time to get a new job if you still haven't realized that.
