HOW TO WRITE?

        Hey! out there, I know it's been a long time since I posted my last article. But from now on I'll try to be regular. By the time I wasn't writing, I was searching and collecting data for you all as many of you have reached me via different platforms to ask me to write an article about how to write well or how to become a veteran writer. In a reply to that, I'm here with my new article "How to write?". To be honest I can just tell you how can one start the writing process as I'm too a learner. But yes I could promise one thing to you all by the end of this you'll be knowing how to write and what tools do one needs to write. 

        So the idea is simple I'll be posting a series on writing and in each article of this series I'll be coming up with a way or technique that is essential for you to write. This article is the introductory article of that series and in this, I've tried to put on every necessary detail you should know before writing. With hope you'll enjoy it.

        So this post isn't about how to write adroitly. If you are here to find expert advice on how to refine your set of words, then I'm sorry you are clearly in the wrong place. I'm here to guide you through all the factors you need to know before you start writing. Isn't that important to learn "How to write?" before "How to write well?". This series of articles will help you to go from zero to hero. All you need to do is to stay tuned till the very end.

        There is plenty of advice over the internet on how to write well. But, before we move on to how to be an expert or a veteran writer one must know how to write. Writing isn't about having a prior knowledge of how to put some grammatically correct sentences together or it isn't about acquiring an understanding of a language which you could write.

        Writing could be an amazing hobby or a necessary tool. Writing has no ending. Your writing is as good as your imagination. The deeper you think the well you write. From concoctions to realistic fictions, academic research papers to scientific reports, dramas to poems, emails to letters, blog posts to news articles it's proven that your writing is only limited to your imaginations.

        Keep in mind that writing isn't about putting the pen-paper together. It's much more than that. It takes lots of research, reading, thinking, and most importantly revising. The first and foremost thing as soon as you decide to write is to develop a habit of reading. You can write only if you have a good vocabulary and the easiest way to build a vocabulary is to read articles by other bloggers or articles in the newspapers or the best is to listen to news channels or read plenty of books or novels.

        Sharing my experience when I decided to write around four years back it took me almost a year to build my vocabulary up to an extent so that I could stand firm in the beginners league of writers and could create my identity out there and more importantly it took a year to ink a sentence that has a unique set of words that isn't used by any writer before. Yes, you might be thinking I'm just joking or making a fool out of you but seriously I'm not. And to be very honest with you all I still learn new words and try to incorporate them in my articles so that somehow they could reach you all.

        In that span of a year, I use to read a lot of articles from various bloggers, writers, newspaper editors, and authors. While reading those articles I just don't improve my vocabulary but I also figured out that it isn't the vocabulary that will allow me to stand against those legendary veterans but I need more. So I started digging deeper and started searching across the internet over various websites. After coming across a couple of websites with some great articles I found that majorly it's about three things that allow you to be idiosyncratic. And today I'm here to share those three things with you. Three things that one must know before we start writing are:

1. Style & Clarity
2. Crafting & Formulating
3. Refining & Proof Reading

        Before getting into the discussion that what does those three points above mean it's very important to come across three tips on writing. These tips are something I have developed and used since I started writing. Before we start writing any article one must:

• Have an outline:

        Having an outline doesn't means to have borders around your text. It signifies the foresightedness of the text you are going to ink. You must have a prototype in your mind that how you are going to start that and how you are going to end it. In addition to that, you must be clear of the thought that how much you are going to stretch that article as if it's prolonged then it becomes tedious for the reader to continue with it. Hence, the word limit is one of the key aspects of good writing. So, from this, you might have found that unless you have an outline you can't write an article. Without an outline, you'll mess around and there is a high risk that you might miss out on some crucial information about the topic. 

• Be fluent:

        Fluency in general can be described as one's capabilities to read and write something smoothly, with speed & accuracy, and with proper expressions. But with fluency, here I mean to say that one must jot down an article as if we are talking. Which signifies to scribble in a manner so that the audience feels attached they could connect to every word you inked. Your emotions must be carried to them through your post. Scribble in a manner that they fell in love with you. The more fluent you are the much better writer you become. One only reads something that allures him/her and unless you decorate to fascinate no one will read what you write. And to increase your subscribe counts you need to be clearer, bolder, and fluent. 

• Discover:

        Discover here simply stands for the exploration process. Just don't only discover about the topic you are scribbling on but also discover yourself that are you the right person to deliver that or are you at the right position or situation to deliver. Exploration is the most important aspect of any article as if your investigation lacked and you delivered some false information then the people reading your article will grab that misleading information. And if this happened then it will affect your image as well as it will portray a wrong message about you and can decline your reach and growth in the writing field. So, it's important to take care that the information you deliver is correctly researched and clear.

        Okay, so that's all for this article. Hope you all have enjoyed reading it and might have found a basic outline about writing. Stay tuned until the next article comes. Till the time you all try implementing things you learned from this article in practical. Let me know your experience in the comments section below and do share what you have written with all of us in the comments section to let people appreciate your work. No one is a born writer everyone has to start from ground zero and it's never too late to add a new feather to your cap. Oh! yes, many of you have asked me about quote writing too. So for that, I'll say there are no tricks to write quotes. The only way to write down a quote is to let your heart out and allow your words to portray your emotions and feelings to the reader. And yeah again a writer is as good as his/her vocabulary. For example, if you are writing in Hindi so try incorporating some Urdu or Sanskrit words in your quotations as the blend of that is worth reading. Hope you might have got some help with this. Last but not least stay connected, stay safe, stay healthy, Keep supporting, and yeah now keep reading, researching & writing. 

 

Best of Luck! to you all for your new writing journey. 

Thank You!
