Obsessive…or WHAT!

“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”

~ Franz Kafka

HOW TO WRITE A GOOD ARTICLErn(a lesson extracted from the “original” Online Creative Writing Course)

Whether you are writing offline or to promote your web site on the ‘net’, here are a few tips based on our writing experiences …

“It’s easy being a writer… the hardest part is figuring how tornmake a living, whilst one does so.”

Firstly, carefully research and study your subject matter. Think
it all through very carefully, WHAT you are going to say and HOW
you are going to say it. I believe the essence of writing a good
interesting article is simplicity, but with a touch (or could itrnbe “tinge” of the unusual). Always aim for clarity and simplicity
in your writing. How long should your article be? In writing for
newspapers or popular magazines the length is probably around
500-750 words (or one to 2 pages). I would far rather read a 1000rnword article giving information that would help me, than a breezy
3000 word article of waffle that doesn’t say much at all. Always
try to put yourself in the position of the reader.

After completion, re-read your article a number of times. Polish
it up by changing words and expressions.

Ensure that your article reads quickly and easily. Otherwise ifrnan article is too long the reader can easily lose concentration
and give up. Examine your sentences and paragraphs carefully tornensure that the words flow smoothly. A paragraph should deal with
one idea, developed in one or more sentences that logically
advances the points you are trying to make, add meaning orrndevelop the story you are telling (the plot). Always try to make
your meaning clear. Ensure that your sentences are well
structured and that your grammar is correct.

The first words of your article are of vital importance to grab
your reader’s attention. You are doing a “selling” job to entice
them to read more – so make the reader want to read more. Develop
your theme logically. Carefully plan what you are going to say.
