Writing is a task that we most often do subconsciously. Be it writing our to do list or just a couple of emails that we may have to send out, writing cannot be avoided. Something as mundane as typing texts also amounts to writing and our writing skills play a major role in how well we articulate ourselves. When it comes to writing, structure, accuracy, conciseness and fluency play a significant role. Just like any other skill, writing too can be honed if some tricks and tips are adhered to.
RESEARCH ABOUT THE TOPIC YOU’LL BE WRITING ON
Being aware of the subject matter that you will be writing on will help you gain perspective.
This will make your writing smooth and quicker. If you’re equipped with the right amount of information, you will be able to structure your sentences well.
It will also improve the quality of your writing and familiarize you with the style of writing that you should stick to.
BECOME YOUR OWN CRITIC
One of the best skills to master is that of being your own critic. Dissect an article or review that you’ve previously written. Look for errors and scope of betterment. Look at sentences that could have been rephrased in a better manner. Review words that seem too basic and write down substitutes in place of them. Be as harsh as you can be as this will greatly assist you in overcoming all your weaknesses. With time, you will have developed the discipline that it takes to finetune your writing.
ELIMINATE SENTENCES THAT SEEM EXTRA
Most of the time, we compose sentences that are unnecessary just in order to elaborate our articles. We reiterate our points in different ways even when they do not add any meaning to the overall piece.
Writing in a convoluted manner is also something you should avoid doing. Instead of sticking to fancy sounding words, make your sentences simple and crisp.
After you have finished writing, review it to eliminate all those sentences that seem pointless. This will make your work neat and easy to read.
THINK ABOUT QUESTIONS THAT MAY CROSS THE AUDIENCE’S MIND
Every time you write something, place yourself in the shoes of someone who may be reading your work.
Try and ruminate on all those questions that the reader may have while he/ she is scanning your piece. Provide an answer to all those queries in the form of your opinion. Include all of it in your work.
Different people have different points of view that they hold. Think in broad terms and you shall have your answers.
We have listed some common hacks for you to work upon. Writing skills can be remarkably improved if one truly wishes to hone them. Putting more thought than you usually do while writing something will also add more depth to your work.
