Good grammar does not imply that you have to use very complex words or vocabulary. It is all that makes the difference between a graceful and translucent one and an awkward and an ambiguous one. Another way of coming up with very good pieces is to write from daily experiences or the things that influence you the most. The bits and pieces form everyday life makes your writing fun and easier and in the end you will find that your writing becomes effective. Another tip for good writing is that you should be well informed of the subject of your choice.
