There are so many to choose from.  I think that is really a matter of personal preference and style.  It is often not so much what is said, but how it is said, that makes an impression.\n\nThese links may help you clarify things in your own mind, and assist you in picking the devices that will work best for your writing.

A good online Word Processor can be found at: http://writely.com/\nMake sure your browser is updated, as it requires some thing older browsers may not have.

It depends on what kind of writing you are talking about. If it is handwriting, it is just a matter of practice. If it is creating sentence structure, you might try going to the library and asking the librarian what you need. They have books on writing from grade school through college and alot of them simplified. If it is writing style, I use a little book my college english teacher recommended called The Pocket Handbook by Kirszner and Mandell. It seems overwhelming when you first look at it, but if you actually take the time to read it, it is pretty simple and straight forward. It indicates MLA style. For other styles, Spark has cheater charts at barnes and nobles for $5 that are quick and easy to use. It is all cut down to common sense, no frills. I don't have advice for the web, but I hope these things can help. =)

I'm not sure about publishing, but I've heard of a program that helps you write books. I think it's called y-writer, and i think you can download it free from the internet

Write in complete sentences , and whole paragraphs with correct punctuation and spelling. Study the writings of authors you admire, determine what you like about the structure(grammar and syntax) of their sentences and paragraphs and imitate them.\n\nStudy the dictionary everyday, learning and using new words to express your ideas. Words have multiple meanings and uses and learning this will help you select the ones that fit your frame of mind and purpose. Don't be afraid to use a good encyclopedia. Good writers are usually well-informed and good learners.\n\nDiscuss your writing with someone who likes to write, possibly a teacher-mentor-critic. Accept criticism and suggestions at first even if you later conclude your ways are preferable.\n\nWrite , write, and write until it is as comfortable as communicating by speech. \n\nPlay with expressing your thoughts in different words in different sentences and enjoy the freedom to write out what is on your mind limited only by your ingenuity and determination.\n\nThanks for the question, answering it helped me to organize my own rules for improving my writing skills.

Do you mean online blogs? Blogs are online diaries and journals. The most popular website for that right now is http://www.myspace.com. They are easy to work with and will help you get started.\nOr you could try to make up an HTML-based diary online at a place like http://www.geocities.com.\nIf not online, then try your local bookstore to buy pre-set and bound journals.
