Tips for Improving Your Writing Skills

Hey everyone, the last post about writing, is about tips for improving your writing skills. Well, obviously, to improve your writing, you need to write. However, there's more than that. So, what can you do to improve your writing skills? Curious? Read more!




We have posted many things about writing skills, i.e. the basic structure, the forms, the paragraphs,and so on. Now, don't think that these posts that I had been working on are enough. There's so much more for you to find out. So, as usual, don't forget to keep exploring the internet. Also, don't forget to practice writing. The more you practice, the more you will become.

Now, there are several tips for you. And I hope these tips would be very useful for you.

1. Read!

Wait, what? Why should you read to improve your writing? Does it have something to do with your writing skills?

The answer is yes, there's something to do with it. Why? Because, your writing will become something that, at least, you will read. So, if you read a lot, you will get accustomed to texts. And you'll know the best way to arrange the words into a sentence, sentences into a paragraph, and paragraphs into a short or long piece of writing. So, be sure to read a lot, and find your own style of writing.

2. Write!

Well, this is obvious. And, I'm sure that you know why. Yes, that's because the more you practice, the better you will become (I've said this before, heheh). Write anything that you can or you want. Whether it is a note, a message, a story, or just for fun.

3. Choose a Particular Topic to Work On.

Sometimes, it is better to get more serious, or really serious, on what you are practicing. Pick a topic that suits your interest, and write them down. It's okay if you get stuck in the process. You just need to relax, and find ideas. I'm sure that you'll find spectacular ideas by your own.

4. Always Write Ideas.

Sometimes, when you're going somewhere, ideas may pop out, and you might realize that you've never thought about those ideas before. So, it's great to bring a small notebook, and write wherever you are, and whenever the ideas are coming. This ideas would be your inspiration for you writing in the future.

5. Use Internet.

This is what you are doing right now. Use the power of the space-age-device called the internet to find ideas, correct you grammar, or to read. Do this everytime you go online, and you'll feel that internet had never been this useful before. (Just kidding. It IS useful. :v)

6. Have a Friend to Read Your Writing.

If you have someone special, I mean, someone that is particularly good at writing, you should ask the to come over your house some time. You can ask him/her, if he/she is willing to, to read your writing. Ask about the errors or mistakes that are possibly inside your writing, and ask about how to correct them.  Getting tips from someone that is better than you is really cool, you know?!

7. Find Your Own Best Place To Write.

 The last tips, is about place. Where do you usually write? In your bedroom? In your kitchen? Or in your toilet? (seriously?) Do you feel comfortable there? If you feel so, that great. If you don't, just, write somewhere else. Find you very best spot to write. Maybe in a garden, or in a cafe, that's all up to you. Make yourself comfortable first, then, write. It's not good to write in a place that is not comfortable for you.


So, that's all the tips. Try them out, and you'll improve your writing skills in no time. And one more thing. Find your own writing style, and how you write. Don't forget to be original! It is okay to use reference, but not copying them. At least, rephrase. Use your own style of writing.

See you~
