You are so right about improving with practice. I teach my students to write by having them write, giving them feedback, and having them read--then write about what they read.

An example from my knitting class: I let the girls look through some of my books to pick their next project. After just a few months of experience, one girl picked some beautiful gloves--one of the hardest things to knit (10 fingers, knit individually!!!). I didn't want to discourage her, though, so I talked her into some equally beautiful mittens and told her if she enjoyed knitting 2 thumbs, she could then go on to make gloves. That's how my mom taught me--she let me dive in and figure things out and ask for help and sometimes unravel things and start over. To love the process as well as the product.
