Write

This post is for everybody.

And especially for those who say that writing is hard.

Nope, mate, it's not.

It's as easy as a tic-tac-toe game.

There are just some very awesome elements that make your writing beautiful.

Let's dive deep in to those.

• Thoughts a.k.a. Content

For past many years, I've struggled to find the "right mantra" for writing. I've read all possible books and copied all possible styles. Yet, none gave me the satisfaction I was expecting.

What I figured out next was amazing.

I realized to be the "right writer", I had to be the "right thinker".

And by being the right thinker, I mean, to think. Think about what you'd love to write. Think about what you want your readers to think. Think about displaying what you think.

Oh yes.

The first step to this "guide to writing" became a huge success. I remember penning my thoughts down on a white paper. Crunching it, throwing it, re-opening it and doing all of that stuff to find my right thoughts.

Simply put, if you know what you want to write, you can write.

It's that easy.

Content is a very important part of your post. If you don't provide that well, nothing will matter. Your thoughts are your content. You've just got to filter them right.

• Simplicity

Once you know what you want to write, just keep it all simple. Your readers should always feel the ease while they read. Don't complicate it. If you're starting something, be on it. Keep your words on the same track. The more you loiter, the more they loiter. And, once they're fed up of the loitering, you're just going to boo them.

Even if you wish to change track and loiter around, warn them. Indirectly or directly but always warn. So that they are already aware what's next. Surprises are good but you don't want to shock them with what you're going to say next.

Simplicity has its' own charm. Use it right.

If you want to state something important, highlight it.

If you want to make the readers laugh, write something funny.

Explain things with an instance so they have something to get hooked upon.
Keep the sentences short. Make sure your paragraph doesn't exceed 4-5 lines. This gives the reader a break. Long sentences are too much information at once.

For example, if you look at my writing above, you'll barely notice any long sentences. And, even if you do, they are separated with commas (,).

A person concentrates on maximum 7-9 words at a time. Commas and full-stops give the reader's mind a very quick mini-second break. And, trust me, it's needed.

Secondly, I reckon you might find any jargon in my writing. Avoid them as much as possible.

Also, simple is different for everybody. So, always make sure who are you addressing to. A doctor won't get your marketing blog and vice-versa. Hence, it is very important to know and understand your audience.

Keep it simple, silly.

• Connection

Connection is another major thing. Once you don't connect, you've lost it. You've done your part on fleeing them away. Your post must make your readers relate or connect to you.

Every writer must build a bond with their reader. If you've done that, they're hooked. Once, they are hooked, they're all yours.

The most awesome advice I was ever given was to write like I'm talking to my readers.

The moment they start to hear your voice, you've done it. Keep the blog interactive. Make them nod to some of your statements. Talk in their favor before putting your opinions. Keep it neat. Once, they realize that you feel them, they will come back for more.

So there you go! That's all you need to write something amazing!

Go ahead and write your piece! Good luck!
