What can I, as a young slavshit, do to achieve the same eloquence of prose a professional English writer disposes of?

I've taken to reading as much as I can and plan on writing intensively, but as of now I mostly end up procrastinated instead of doing that.

>inb4 just write in your own language

I'm shitter with my mother tongue than English and I fail to see how bothering with remastering it will be worth it since only five people would get to read my book if I published it here.

there's no recipe except "read more and write more"; the more one reads the better one assimilates the language and carves a particular taste/aesthetic for prose

Practice talking with people whom you have to speak in English, in particular people whom you are intimidated sexually by. Leave what you want to say to the end of a sentence or thought.

Already, not bad. Make short (maybe 2 or 3 paragraphs) summaries of shit you're reading.
