7 Tips for better writing


Writing is a great way to express yourself, work through your own thoughts, and a complete exercise for your brain. But, sometimes writing gets tough as we all struggle at some or the other point. Each writer has a different viewpoint on the same subject. Before you start with a topic, decide the purpose of your write-up, why are you writing. Focus on what you want to convey to your audience and then, go ahead with it. Focusing helps you decide a topic and gives you the start of your write-up. Let’s look at a few tips that will help you in making your writing better.


Quick tips

Writing doesn’t just communicate ideas, it generates them so it is important to follow some simple methods to improve your writing.

1. Start with a story

Always begin your piece with a story that explains your point and shows the reader what it is that you’re talking about. Develop a scene and a situation where people can nod their heads and say, yes, I see, that happens to me. I can picture myself doing that. This way your readers will connect with the story and continue reading it.

2. Emphasize on making a point

Write to make a point not to target a word count. Keep it small and crispy because people are more interested in short and simple articles. According to William Strunk Jr., an author and professor of English,” Vigorous writing is concise.” Therefore, it is important to keep your article short but impactful.


3. Learn from other writers

No writer in this world would have become a famous writer without observing others. Always keep an eye on what famous writers are saying about the strategies and what techniques are used by them to write well. Following them might add an advantage and you never know when you might discover something new.

4. Avoid common mistakes

Everyone makes grammar mistakes, typos, clichés, or use misheard expressions that ruins their write-up. Try and identify your most common mistakes and focus on fixing them one by one. If further extreme measures are needed, you can also consider autocorrecting them as you write.


5. Befriend a dictionary

Keep a dictionary handy as you might need it to differentiate between the right word and the almost right word. A Thesaurus gives a list of words for a replacement of other and you can even learn new words and improve your English vocabulary.

6. Keep a check on your grammar

Editing is an important part of writing, and some of you might be good at grammar, but not everyone is perfect at it. You can refer to a good grammar resource to make the best use of it. Not only will it will help you write correct, but also help you learn new words and idioms to improve your writing.

7. Help another edit their writing

You can help another writer edit his/her work, as it will give you the understanding of your own writing and will help you in deciding points that needs to be added or excluded from the article. If you write, you will not only improve your English communication skills, but also Spoken English skills.
