Purpose:
Be objective:
Present the information objectively.
Your conclusions should arise logically from the information presented,
and be based on the facts and evidence you have collected, rather than your
own opinion or what you would like to happen.
Structure:
A clear beginning, middle and an end.
It is more challenging to understand the chain of thought in
written communication than when it is expressed verbally.
The blue print of your thoughts in your mind will decide the
structure of your
writing.
Choice of words:
The words that you use determine your style.
Your writing could be easy and based on simple words so that your reader gets
the main point.
Words can convey positive, negative, strong or weak messages
depending on what you choose to express yourself.
Punctuation:
Its have a large effect.
In speaking we don’t need to have any commas , full stop ,question mark etc.
But if u don’t use the commas , full stop etc. In your writing phrase
the reader can get difficulty to read and understand.
A writer should have a best knowledge to use these things.
Grammatically correct:
No grammatical mistakes.
In writing grammar have a larger effect…if u write correct grammar the
reader understand context easily.
Proofread:
Proofread as many times as it is required to get it perfect.
This thing helps send out errors all the time.
After you finish writing, read and re-read and check for typos and
grammar errors.
Check for concision and cut out every single word.
Style:
Style is the main every writer owns his own style.
An easy style has a quick impact.
The message should be understood on first reading.
What is the writing process?
Every writer follows his or her own writing process.
Here are five steps towards creating or identifying your personal
writing process:
i. Prewriting
ii. Writing
iii. Revision
iv. Editing
v. Publishing
Prewriting:
Prewriting identifies everything you need to do before you sit down to
start your rough draft.
Now you have your plan and you’re ready to start writing.
Forget about word count and grammar. Don’t worry if you stray off topic in
places; even the greatest writers produce multiple drafts before they produce
their finished manuscript.
Identify the best time and location to write and eliminate potential
distractions.
Make writing a regular part of your day.
Revision:
Your story can change a great deal during this stage. When revising their
work, many writers naturally adopt the A.R.R.R. approach
Add:
Have you given your readers all the information they need to make
sense of your story?
If not, go back to your notebook that you kept for additional scenes and any
additional details.
Rearrange:
Consider the flow, pacing and sequencing of your story. Would the plot be
better served if some of the events occur in a different order?
Remove:
After making additions to your story, how is your word count now? Are
your readers experiencing information overload? You may need to
eliminate passages that don’t quite fit.
Replace:
The most effective way to revise your work is to ask for a second
opinion. Do you need more vivid details to help clarify your work?
Editing:
You have overhauled your story. It’s time to fine tune your manuscript line by
line.
Check for repetition, clarity, grammar, spelling and punctuation. Editing is an
extremely detailed process and its best when performed by a professional.
Nobody wants to read a book that is full of mistakes, and they certainly won’t
buy a book that is riddled with them.
Publishing:
Noise
Lack of effective tools
Training for writing
Scope of motivation
Writers block
Noise:
Sometimes a person may feel the urge to write something, but the people
around him may not encourage him. They may tell him that he is not a good
writer.
In such situation, he should not follow the words of others but he should
follow his own path. If he is urged he should take a step ahead.
If he has not developed the necessary skills he can learn a lot by watching the
other writers in the forum. He can learn the skills that are necessary for a
writer.
