Good Writing: The 3 C's

After finishing 3 Levels of English in a university, I would say writing is about 3 things; the 3 C's. What is good writing? This is not an easy question to answer. Many different kinds of writing are considered "good" and for many different reasons. There is no formula or program for writing well. However, there are certain qualities that most examples of good writing share. Here let me briefly discuss the 3 C's that i learned form my 3 levels of English:
Level 1: Coherence
An essay or paper should be organized logically, flow smoothly, and stick together. In other words, everything in the writing should make sense to a reader.
Level 2: Correctness
A paper should be written in generally correct standard english, with complete sentences, and there should be no errors.
Level 3: Creativity
Creativity is very important. The best writing is that which carries some of the personality, the individuality of its author.
