5 Sure Tips on How to Improve Your Writing Skills

It comes to me as a source of compassion when I see people trying hard to write yet not getting the results they desire. I have asked myself so many times what these people really lack. This blog-post will help to highlight some common problems which have been overlooked as well as possible solutions too. Enjoy!

A) The first thing I have noticed is that most people lack goals. They just want to pick up their pens and have a plethora of words to write. This is not possible anywhere! Learn to set writing goals. Goals are what you want to achieve, it might be a daily goal, weekly goal or a monthly goal but learn to be disciplined enough to follow it to the last.

B)Read at every opportunity,carry out researches,have an habit of learning new words daily. This is one of the few things that have helped me in my writing abilities. Read to understand,read to learn new words,read to find out the emotions of the writer,learn new words to improve your vocabulary. For example,when you need to write "so many cars" an improvement in your vocabulary makes you write "a fleet of cars". That takes you a notch higher.

C)Write from the perspective of a reader. One of the things lacking in so many write-ups out there is the ability of the writer to look from a reader's perspective. Always ask yourself," If I were to be the one to read this write-up,will I be attracted to it?". If your own writing cannot appeal to your emotions,then you need an improvement.

D)Proof-read your writings. Do not be in a rush to publish or submit your work,learn to be patient enough to read through again as there might be some form of oversight in your spellings or spacing of words or placing of punctuation marks.

E)Lastly, learn to accept corrections when your writing is corrected. No one wants to demoralize you, if anyone criticizes your work, it is because of the love they have for you. Accept corrections with love and improve on yourself.

I hope I have been able to help you and I believe the next time you are penning down your thoughts, it's  going to be better than the last one you did!

Bye for now!
