How to Improve your Writing Skills with Few Steps

It is not difficult to master the art of writing as you might think it is.  I have gathered some very useful steps that’ll help you in achieving you goal easily. In normal life you must’ve written a lot but to master the art of a professional writer you need to follow these steps and awaken your consciousness of what you can do more. Learn Quran can make your reports more conversational and easy to understand.

We do rattle of streams of consciousness when we write in our journal which is fine as that is limited to ourselves but to communicate these thoughts you need to give order to these thoughts.

1.      BE CLEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE WRITING AND ITS CONCEPT

As Albert Einstein has said that if you can’t explain it to the six-year-old inside you, you don’t even understand it yourself.  For communicating your rambling thoughts, first take a moment to explain it to the six-year-old that lives inside you. Ask yourself what is it you want to write about, how it should go through the way and what the result should be.

2.      KEEP YOUR WRITING CONVERSATIONAL

Write the way you talk because that is a good thing and this makes our writing conversational. Rattling thoughts when converted in to written words it seems as you lake conviction. Start practicing to straighten you writing.

3.      ELIMINATE THE FILLER WORDS AND PHRASES TO BE CLEAR

Most times some words show in our writing which don’t support our writing more or which don’t contribute more called filler words. Yes this is also correct that few times these words give color to the text. So they should be eliminated upon study if they don’t contribute more to be exact and clear.

4.      STICK TO SIMPLE WORDS

Do not try to be more poetic use simple words. There are three kinds of word

a.       Words we know            b.   Words we should and   c.    Words do not know.

Stick to the second category. Don’t try to impress more and be poetic so the reader understands easily your point.  Try for rich words but not million dollar words which can lead the reader to not easily understand your target point.

5.      USE CONTRACTIONS

Use contractions to make the sentences short and impressive. i.e

List of some contractions;

Is not	Isn’t
Had not	Hadn’t
Was not	Wasn’t
Does not	Doesn’t
Do not	Don’t
Have not	Haven’t
Has not	Hasn’t
Might have	Might’ve
Must not	Mustn’t
Should not	Shouldn’t
I would	I’d
I will	I’ll

An example of using contractions:

I am sure you will be able to complete given tasks.

I’m sure you’ll complete given tasks.

6.      TRANSCRIPTION

It is also a weird but useful idea to record your self and later listen to it. This way you can easily edit what you want to the reader to be focused on. This idea also helps in easily removing filler words I.e. like, umm etc. After listening to yourself you’ll easily know what to do and what not to do in you writing.

7.      READ IT LOUD TO YOURSELF

Read what you’ve written loud to yourself. You will know if the conversation or story or what you’ve written about goes smooth or not. If it sounds clipped you can add some longer sentence to break the steady beat.  If you find yourself circling around one point many times you should know that you need to write it again or change the point now.  Reading what you’ve written especially loud to yourself works as it becomes easily to compare it with genuine conversation and feel if it looks like one.

8.      INDULGE YOUR PERSONALITY IN YOUR WRITING

As you normally use phrases when necessary to highlight your point, do the same in your writing to show your real writing skills. You should follow the professional behavior of a writer but be yourself to show it is you as the reader reads it.

9.      PRACTICE

The more you practice the more your skills shine.
