20 Aug 09 Learning To Edit

Learning to edit is one of the most important aspects of writing. As most people will tell you, good writing is in the editing. It’s not what you want to write, but how you write that makes the largest difference in how your readers will perceive you. By properly editing a piece you can ensure that you make your points, and maintain an entertaining as well as informative writing style. That’s the key in the end, you need to titillate as well as inform, if you want people to keep up with what you’re writing. The key to that always will be reworking your first drafts.

Good writing should be as concise and always to the point as possible. When you write too much fluff your readers tend to shut off their brains, or worse, get bored and stop reading altogether. You first edit should focus on how you can take what you’ve written, and formulate it into a shorter piece of work that tells the same story. Nobody wants to read over inflated paragraphs or multiple sentences that make the same point.

After that, learn your strengths and weaknesses. If you’re not very descriptive, make sure you spend extra editing time ensuring that your moments of description are fleshed out well enough. You can’t be too vague, but you also don’t want to over describe to make up for your weakness. Also learning the areas that you tend to need work on will allow you to target where you should go first when editing a piece.

Get as much feedback from third party sources as possible. Get a friend to read what you’ve written, or a coworker, or even a family member. Someone that will provide you with good honest criticism. We all need honest criticism so that we can grow as people, and writing is no different. In fact writing ability hinges on your ability to get effective criticism, and incorporate it into your style to become a better writer on the whole.

Finally, always give your piece a read through backwards. This is especially helpful for noticing little grammatical errors, or punctuation mistakes. By reading backwards your brain doesn’t concentrate on what the writing means, but just on the words and characters themselves. This affords you the opportunity to avoid being engaged in what your writing says, instead focusing on how you’ve written each individual portion.

19 Aug 09 Writing To The Point

The goal of every article, or any other piece of writing is to make a point. Usually you have an idea that you want to convey to your readers persuasively through your writing. That’s not always an easy skill to perform, but with practice is completely achievable. As with all other aspects of writing, getting better at getting your point across is as easy as to just continue writing. Write as often as possible, and just keep a few tips in mind while you write.

Always keep aware of your thesis. Remember that your thesis sentence is what you’re trying to achieve with your article, book, etc. Make sure your thesis sentence is prevalent at the beginning of a work, and then jot down that statement somewhere else so that you never lose sight of your starting idea. The worst thing you can do when you’re trying to make a point, is to lose sight of why you starting writing your piece of work in the first place.

Try not to deviate too much from your point. Doing so adds fluff to the piece that you are writing, which will tend to get away from the topic at hand. When you start to drift away from your purpose, your readers can become bored and fail to read the rest of your piece because they feel there’s too much content that just isn’t relevant. Being as short as possible, and to the point, is the best way to go to garner the attention that you’re trying to achieve.

Finally, just never deviate from the two questions that you should constantly be asking yourself as you write anything. What do you want your readers to know? And, what reaction do you want them to have from your writing? Ask yourself both of these questions as you formulate your piece, and as you edit your piece. Keeping both of them in mind at all times ensures you never get away from the point you’re trying to make.
