Kick Start
First, write down your ideas. Short-term memory can only last for so long, so it’s always better to write your ideas down as soon as you have them. If possible, do not immediately edit your finished output. Take a break, sip a cup of coffee, or have a nap, and then come back with fresh eyes. What you thought was a flowing tet yesterday might seem dull and stiff the next day.
Read it Out Loud
Read what you wrote out loud. Hearing how your sentences sound can help you determine whether anything sounds off. If you notice a mistake while reading, look at the sentence and rewrite it. Make an outline to keep your ideas organized. Determine a clear plan to guide you through what you want to write. Outline reigns in your rambling and ensures everything you write connects to your desired output.
Share What You Have Written
Have a friend read your first draft. Another pair of eyes can often be helpful. They can see mistakes you might have missed, even after proofreading your work. Listen to feedback and advice. However, remember that you have the final decision. Write a little every day. The best way to improve is by practicing. You cannot become a better writer if you don’t write.
Read Read Read
Keep reading as well. You can learn the techniques of great writers and authors by reading their works. You will enrich your vocabulary, adopt different writing structures, and, most of all, exercise your brain. The more you read, the better you will write.
Social Media
Although we are here to encourage traditional writing, spreading your words on social media is a great way to share your thoughts and ideas, but on a much lower scale. You don’t have to write loads of pages, and even a few lines every few days will be enough. Try to showcase your style and unique hallmark in your writing; you’ll be surprised how many new followers you’ll earn.
