teaching writing

Writing is the most difficult skill to learn and acquire for it takes a long process before one's craft is honed.  It's not easy to weave words together to come up with a coherent essay with no gaps in meaning.  And if you are one of those who find writing a burden, this article is for you.

As a child, I used to scribble down words on a notebook, words that most of the time were intelligible, senseless.  But don't you know that such a habit made me what I am now.  Had I not developed such interest/passion for writing, I could not have been an English teacher.

So, if you really are decisive to know how to write, then, here are some tips which you may apply to fulfill your wildest dream of becoming a writer:

1. Develop that passion for writing.  If you do not have that zest for writing, then, no matter what you do, you'll never be able to fulfill your dream.  May be writing is not for you.  Remember, if you love what you're doing, then, you do not consider it a burden but a leisure.
2. Write, write, write!  Start writing a topic of interest to you.  Scribble down words, organize your thoughts well and develop only one central idea.  Never attempt to write on a topic that you know little about, because it will only frustrate you.  You cannot be creative in your style  and for sure, you cannot elaborate your ideas so well.  This will result to a  mediocre paper.
3.  Read excellent writers, and learn style from them.  Later on, as you get immersed into the different  gurus in the field of writing,   you'll notice, your writing style will be pretty much influenced by your favorite writers.
4. Revise, revise, revise.  Do not just be content with your first draft.  Keep on editing until you get satisfied with your own masterpiece.
5.  Have your colleagues read your work.  Ask for comments and improve your craft based on others' suggestions.

With these useful tips, you may now begin your journey to the world of fun as you unravel your thoughts through words.
