Later this evening, I graduate from Government Academy, a weekly exploration of local government that I began in March. It’s a fitting day since today is [National Graduation Tassel Day](https://nationaltoday.com/national-graduation-tassel-day/?ref=justincox.com), dedicated to all graduates. While graduating from any school level is extremely important, I instead want to focus on how we level up as writers.

There are so many ways to improve our writing. Just about everyone has a course or class for purchase. While some of those are very good, there are many other ways to improve our skills.

For me, the act of [writing every day](https://justincox.com/blog/2021/06/write-every-day-with-siri-shortcuts-and-day-one/) helps me level up. Every sentence I write is a chance to learn, grow, and improve. Likewise, reading and editing content for others allows me to see what works, what I like, and areas where I can improve my writing.

You might not be graduating from a program today, but what are you doing to improve as a writer? How can you graduate from where you are now to a new level of writing skills? Hit reply and let me know.
