Writing skill - Last part -

Good article / assignment / report / essay like a good trip, stimulate readers. It doesn't matter if you do it on a piece of paper or direct it to the keyboard, it's still need an outline or a draft. If not, it will burst your composition and you will find the story's dead.


Writing The First Draft.

When the time comes for you to write a first draft, do not sit with pencil poised waiting for the perfect sentence to come to mind. At this stage, you simply need to put down the information and ideas you have gathered. Do not feel you have to use the complete sentences ( like what I did ). You can go back later to change and improve your work.

Do not feel you have to begin with the introduction if you are having difficulty with it. In many cases, you will think of an effective introduction after you have written the body of your paper.
Always write or type your first draft on one side of the paper ( internet user / blogger ---> in Notepad / Word maybe? ), with wide margins to allow plenty of room for revisions. If you write the draft, use every other line of the paper. If you type, set your computer, word processor, typewriter for double- or triple spacing.

Revising Your Work.

Think of writing as a building process with words, sentences and paragraphs as building blocks. Your goal is to choose the best words, put them together into clear, grammatical sentences, form the sentences into logical, coherent paragraphs, and link the paragraps into well-organized paper.

Do not expect to reach your goal the first time around. In more cases, writing involves a lot of rewriting - turning out as many drafts as necessary to produce the best result. After you have completed your first draft, the best thing to do is forget about your paper for a while. Leave it alone for an hour (depend), a day or several days if time permits. Then look it again with a fresh, critical eye. This is what I'm doing all the time and sometimes, I will re-edit my last month article if the choice of word was not suitable.

"Like any other skill, writing requires practise.
The more you do it, the better you become"

A huge credit to the Worldbook because for the good tips and I think you should have one. I promise that I will share more tips from Worldbook in my next posting.
