Writing…Blogs…Blogs are on-line journals wherever
folk express themselves through writing. Writing…Writing is the process wherever
one puts down words of a language on a format that others can read. This process has not been about really long, to use one of my writing teacher’s favorite sayings, “Writing has only existed for one day in the one year that humanity has existed.” Speaking and thinking move more easier than writing. These processes just flow out naturally like a stream of consciousness; sometimes we hardly have to think just about doing them. Anyone and everyone can write words down on paper but that doesn’t mean it’s ‘good writing’, myself included. Like most things in life, our society already takes writing for granted which is proving to expose more of our ignorance. Writing is a new form of expression, and if we want to do it in a way that the masses can connect with our ideas, we have to think more much just and clearly just about this art.
Now that was quite a big paragraph, you’ve got to wonder if I actually needful to say as more as I just did to introduce this article on the better way to write your blogs on the Web. I didn’t even as mention this main idea, and that’s what an introduction paragraph is meant to be for. This is a common mistake in galore blogs out there. We try to get too galore ideas across in one paragraph, sometimes even as in one sentence! The key, as in all things in life-is to support it simple. Simplicity means that readers won’t get confused just about what your journal entry is actually about. Introduce your main general topic at the start, and use the consequent paragraphs to discuss separate ideas that relate to this topic. Try to tie everything up in the final paragraph, your main argument and the reason why you’ve written in the 1st place.
Grammar and sentence construction are not easy systems to master, especially if you move from a school system that spent more time telling you just about historical battles and quadratic equations than on how to see and write. This is a real problem. Once
we speak we can get messages across to others easily, but if we put these words down on paper, the writing just isn’t absorbing and doesn’t connect with people’s curiosities and fascination. Once
you write you are not talking to a close friend. You can’t use slang and colloquialisms that only your local community can understand. The aim is to connect with all the folk in the world, so let’s do it crystal clean and gratifying to read.
Your computer has orthography and synchronic linguistics checks, as well as access to a thesaurus. Use them, but remember that the machine can’t decipher all the intricacies of language. Language is a earth in itself, and more of its territories are undiscovered by the masses. So, once again support it simple. Short, precise sentences with single ideas are great. Galore words in the English language have the same meanings (synonyms). Use the synonym finder so you don’t repeat the same word over and over throughout the text. It keeps the story fresh and doesn’t turn the reader off. There’s nothing more boring than repetition. Exploitation some words can be a lot of fun and a learning experience, just do sure you use a lexicon (also on the computer/Internet) to do absolute sure of the word’s definition.
Readability…Simplicity…Make your web log available by all people. You can even as take into consideration that galore readers wish have knowing English as a second language. As I’ve aforesaid in previous articles, support to the point-don’t go on tangents. Stick with the article’s topic, and decidedly stay inside
the realms of your blog’s main area. If your web log is entitled “Jazz music”, folk who go there don’t want to hear just about how your football team won on the weekend! Please be consistent. How irritating is it to visit a web log that hasn’t been written on in months or years?
I hope these little tips wish help you on your quest to producing ‘good’ writing that brings new friends and acquaintances of similar outlooks into your world. If you want folk to read, the aim is to produce an emotional reaction in your reader. Pretend you are writing to another form of yourself, if it were not readable, absorbing and fun…would you stick around?
Just just about the Author
