Written communication is important when you are trying to communicate clearly to sometimes a numerous amount of people who some may come from different backgrounds and find it hard to understand. You may be asked to write an article in the newspaper about the headlines for that day; this would be read by a large audience which of some could find it difficult to understand. Another example is when writing a book it needs to be clear enough so the people reading the book can picture and understand what is going on. To have good written communication skills you need to have no grammatical mistakes in your news article or book so they both read fluently for the reader. You also don't want any spelling mistakes in there either. This makes it both hard to read and in this case it could have an effect of you being able to continue a career in those types of jobs. The main things to look out for though are grammar, spelling and punctuation. Planning is also always a good idea before you start. You may be asked for a rough draft before your news article or book can go live by your employer and this might be through a paper copy. So your handwriting needs to be adequate and easy to read for them.
