I always thought that good and effective writing only stemed from experience. Also learning by example through observation. There is a voice in many of us. Unfortunately, some of those voices never step out of the boat to be heard. For me, I've never been an orator or very good at public speaking, but the pen has always been my weapon of defense, and helper when I felt compelled to be heard.
However,it would be nice if steemit would host additional sites which particularly focuses on the subjects of religion and family.
