None of those phrases make sense to me

I'm a native of the U.S. living in Montana.

None of your example sentences make sense to me. Or, more accurately, I wouldn't say anything using any of those phrases. But it's possible you're trying to use a form of "well-rounded."

  1. adjective

You describe someone as well-rounded when you are expressing approval of them because they have a personality which is fully developed in all aspects.

  1. adjective

If you describe something that is made up of several parts as well-rounded, you mean that the way that the different parts are put together is good, because there is not too much or too little of any one part.

well-rounded in British English

adjective (well rounded when postpositive)

  1. rounded in shape or well developed, "a well-rounded figure"

  2. full, varied, and satisfying, "a well-rounded life"

  3. well planned and balanced, "a well-rounded programme"

If this is the case, what would I expect to hear?

I'd expect, and would personally use, the following,

Your writing is well-rounded.

Meaning that you'reyour grasp of grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and writing style is good.

In this context you could say:

Your writing should be better rounded.

But that would sound very odd to me and would take me a bit to work out its context. That might come from my background as a technical writer. In the technical writing world, specificity is important. Therefore, I would expect to hear:

You need to improve your syntax and grammar, but your vocabulary is good.
