What Constitutes Great Writing?

["Ronquillo, Michael" <mronquillo -at- equitrac -dot- com>]

I'm not just talking about Tech Writing, I'm talking about writing in
general.

 

Seems like anyone can be a writer nowadays, which is theoretically true;
however, the line between great and passable writing is becoming more
and more blurred. It seems like a lot of employers would rather invest
in passable writers rather than professional writers. You especially see
this in blogs, where grammar mistakes and passable writing runs amuck.

 

Thoughts? How do you convince other people that your writing is, gasp,
better?
