But, as with anything, if you work hard and practice you can get better. When I first started writing articles I was horrible at writing articles. It would take me all day just to write one article. Then, I would not think it was good enough and would never submit it. So, I would waste all of this time trying to write one article that would never get submitted in the first place

It was not until I realized that I did not have to be perfect or a Pulitzer Prize winner to write good articles. I think I understand the fact that people accept the fact that I am not going to be exactly perfect. I do not write textbook articles. Shoot, I am sure if you are well-versed in English literature you can find many grammar mistakes in this article.

It is not about if you get your commas and your periods in the perfect spot. It is about readability. People read your article if it flows well. So, our goal should be to write articles that reads easily.

The best way to write an article that reads easily is to write as if you are speaking. I do this by actually speaking my articles. I use a program called Dragon Naturally Speaking that allows me to speak into a microphone and it actually types the text I am speaking.

That is exactly how this articles being written. So, one way you can write articles fast is to use a program like I’m using. This will allow you to zoom through articles without a problem.

Next, you can use the tips method that I use to write articles. All you need to do is write out three tips about your niche. Then, you can put those three tips into an article. You can easily get good quality 300 to 500 word articles with the three tips method.

Finally, you can look around and get inspiration from other articles. Whenever I’m stuck and cannot write an article I will simply browse EzineArticles.com for inspiration. Now, I’m not saying go out and plagiarize articles. I’m talking about reading through articles to get inspiration for what you would like to write. Then, write your own unique article from your inspiration.

The most important thing to do is to start writing articles. It does not matter if they are perfect. All that matters is they are good articles with good information. If you can put good information that flows well into an article, people will forgive you if you put a comma in the wrong spot. If you are getting good valuable information, people will forgive you if you are not perfect grammatically. But, none of this matters if you do not start. So, go start writing articles today and before you know it you will learn how to write articles fast.

Tips to Help You Develop Your Writing Skills

Posted on by

There are as many as millions of people who could have made great career options out of their writing abilities but unable because of their inability to shape up and develop their writing skills.

It is usually a simple but deliberate process which involves consistency and determination. To develop your writing skills, you must firstly, focus on your ability to generate topic ideas and to do this, you may browse your inclinations, search your experiences, interests or thoughts. You may also look around the physical environments for issues, events and other social concerns that may be topical.

Lastly, you can actually surf the internet, look into magazines and books or other materials that may provide such topical information that one can write about.

Once you are able to generate ideas, then try to plan the presentation of your piece, writing down your points and forming your paragraphs in a logical and coherent way.

Ensure to arrange your thoughts chronologically, in a way that will not be confusing to your readers.

The Make Up

To make up your piece of writing, start by choosing a very attractive heading or title because this is where you start to buy readers over. If the title is enchanting, the possibility to catch the interest of the readers starts to build up from here. However this does not necessarily mean that you should strain your brains trying to pick a title before completing the write-up.

You are allowed to take your time and think carefully before choosing your topic. This may be at the beginning, middle, at the end or any time at all before your write up is submitted.

Having said that another important part of your writing is the opening paragraph. This is so essential that if you do not get it right here, your entire write up is not likely to make it at all. In the opening paragraph lies the bulk of the job.

The opening paragraph should be able to give an insight into what readers should expect in the piece they are about to read and they should be held and captivated by what the opening paragraph offers. If this does not happen, the tendency that readers are going to switch off is quite high no matter what great piece the body holds.

Try having your opening paragraph make alluring statements that will tempt your readers to keep reading or ask questions that they will definitely like to find answers to, in your piece or create suspense that will drag them along.

Once you have found a way around your opening paragraph, try breaking up your other points into the body of your writing. Ensure that each paragraph carries its own point, well clarified and analysed. Points may run over paragraphs but do not make paragraphs to long that they will become confusing and boring.

Make sure that your ideas are presented in ways that will be straight forward and easy to understand. When you pack a paragraph with too many ideas, readers are not likely to find it easy digesting what you are trying to say and this may turn them off.

Remember you are writing for diverse people with different levels of understanding and possibly, differing interests and backgrounds.

The body of your writing should always be full of information and answers to questions raised by the tone of your article or write up. You must always give factual account of all your submissions and defend all materials used.

Having said this, the inevitable need for research, becomes uncompromising. The level of research that is put into any write up differentiates someone who knows what he is writing about from the mediocre. Research helps to add relevant information and facts to our presentations and this is a boost on quality, trust and professionalism.

Always ensure to clarify facts and opinions and depending on the type of write up you are doing, make sure your submissions are well presented.

Identify which genre of writing your piece falls into and follow standards of writing for that particular genre, for example article, feature, novel, website content etc.This will enhance your writing and easily be grouped as the case may be.

Always revise your piece of writing before submission and make all necessary corrections, avoid overused words as much as you can and finally, give your writing a notable conclusion.
