I've recently followed the advice of our very own Jeff Atwood and started a blog site in order to become a better writer and communicator.

My goal is to improve my skill at technical writing and business writing; to be able to write crisply, clearly, and to the point. I want to develop a writing style whichs is, at once, both informative and enjoyable. Stylistically, I'm aiming for a (crazy) mixture of Bill Bryson and Christopher Hitchens.

I've chosen a blog because it seems a good first step - it gives me a platform to write. It's a place I can write frequently and get as much practice and I need. However, I'm concerned that I will not go too far just by blogging frequently without any external input. **How can my I use my blog to improve my writing, beyond just writing a lot?** Is there something I can do as part of my blogging that will push my limits and make me a better communicator?
