How to become a good writer.... a good hint please?

Writing articles is just like writing down your thoughts... then putting them into an order that other people can understand. Simply put: introduction paragraph, content, conclusion paragraph. The best way to learn to write better is, of course, to practice. Even better is to find someone who will edit and comment on your writing and help you perfect the work, step by step. Funnily enough, this is my new project for the year: I'm working with two non-native English writers at the moment, helping them to write better and, between us, producing work that they can sell at a nice, high price. They earn more, I get a cut of the profits and everybody's happy.

To improve your writing skills you have to just keep practicing. Some help with ideas and imagination, try looking up "writing prompt generators". These will give you a idea and you just try to flow from it. And as for articles, it's easiest to write about things you know about and are familiar with. Try to learn new words everyday and how to use them. And make sure you keep reading. The more reading you do you learn more writing techniques. Good luck with your writing expedition.

It is important to keep practicing. You can get paid for your writing. Write about topics that interest you.

In order to be a good writer you need - 1. A good grasp of the language in which you will be writing 2. Some writing skills 3. Originality 4. A willingness to be hardworking

If we imagine, we move our minds into different places. It doesn't mean you need to travel literally, the power of being a good thinker to explore the things we wanted. A day dreamer can associate with this kind of imagination.

Despite your language skills you can still earn money by writing online. Try forums where a user with average English skills are accepted. You can start with forum coin. You can earn $10 in a month by posting 17 posts every day.

As far as I know, to be a writer, one needs to be a good writing skills especially grammars. On top of that, you need inspiration and your story must be very interesting. Then only your books can be sold if you intend to write a book and sell it. Yes, being a writer, one can earn good money. There's one time, I wanted to be a writer but sadly I have a very poor writing skills. I'm also not the type of imaginative person.

Keep on writing, Gam. Write what you know and whatever is in your heart. Trust me, it works!

It's good to be passionate about writing-- it's also good you've narrowed down the type of writing you want to explore-articles- because all different writing requires different tools and skills. For example, scriptwriting would require a keen sense of dialogue versus poems which require a keen sense of rhythm. In a seminar I attended at my University, the published author told us the best advice for articles was to be concise, succinct and interesting. This is because when you're writing an article, you generally have a word limit. So, you want to get your point across as soon as possible, as clearly as possible in the word limit allotted. Because it is short, this deletes any possibility of exposition. Every word should count and be interesting. Hook someone in with a god first line. This will engage them to want to read the whole article. Also, keep your sentences clear and concise. You don't want to confuse your reader. It's important to know your audience. The best way you can learn is by reading other successful articles online. See what the author did and try to imitate their style. Also, read comments readers leave as sometimes they will say what they liked about the article and then you can gauge what's important to your audience. Good luck.

Hi Gamyam. To became an Good Writer first you have to be Good Thinker. Imagination is the most important part of this. Story itself is a part of Imagination. If you are good in this, next is Showing ability. i.e how you show your story to others....for example if you write...it's 11pm right now, than one guy will say hey man it's 11pm right now(relaxing mood) and another guy will say hey man it's 11pm right now(tensed mood). So how you show your imagination is most important. Writing it in a proper way is the last task for a writer. This is my view about a writer, i tried best to tell my words.

I am starting to do a bit of writing, and creating my own blog. The two suggestions I would make are 1. Just start writing about anything you fancy, then read it back to yourself and proofread it. Then get someone else to proofread it and give you any further suggestions 2. Read popular and well known blogs. From these you will be able to learn different writing techniques and find out how people grab their audiences :)
