Bad Habits on Writing
Some bad habits that often makes a writer and bloger could not write smoothly. These tips explained based on my personal experiences during the first worked as a newspaper reporter and now a blogger, online journalist. Fit and useful but can also not suitable for you. Choose which you think is good for writing, while the rest put it in the trash, do not bother to think about it.
1. do not Spending time just to think about the title.
Many writers such as short story writer, reporter or bloger which is have a habit to make the title first for the article. Conversely, there is a direct writer to write articles to finish, and then make the title.
Which of these two ways is the best? Both are good, depending on taste. But often I find people who spent up to five minutes, or even longer, only changing the title. This habit is clearly inimical to creativity. During the search for an appropriate title is, a certain percentage of ideas and information in our memory is likely to disappear or at least “stale”, so that the words we write and not bright as we thought originally.
I myself used to write the title first. But if in the first minute I could not make a good title, then just start writing my article. When you finish writing the contents of the article, and went into the editing process, often appears an interesting idea which later wear the title.
→ Benefits make first title: The author had a hold on the direction in which his writings.
→ Benefits to the title later: The ideas in the mind of the writer can be pored over smoothly into the text.
2. do not Looking for a writing topic
Do not write what you do not understand and master. If someone else can write literary issues or philosophy, do not force yourself if they are not capable.
Write down what is your hobby, your job, or a related to your degree [education]. I’m interested in observing a specific number of weblogs writing about fishing, or dental hygiene, or the train winds [bicycle], or the disease of HIV / AIDS, or criminal procedural law / judicial process, or about advertising on the scrap of paper, cigarette packets, to billboards.
You’re a bloger-journalism student? Why not write your observations of the contents of the newspaper. You worked as a civil servant and had a weblog? Why not write a routine and the intricacies of bureaucratic affairs. Many ordinary people will be interested to read your story of how such a funding request for proposal process starting from a civil servant “staff-up”, head of department / office, assistant, regional secretary, deputy mayor, until in essence, an article good not to talk about topics skies.
→ Take this: Good writing in the eyes of the reader is not due to issue a written WHAT, but HOW issue written.
3. Busy correcting the spelling and punctuation.
One of the suggestions of many authors and best-selling novelist is: Do not correct the spelling when writing. That’s true, very precise, and I obeyed.
When he began writing articles – opinions, news, features, or short story – I did not notice any typos. Misspelled and punctuation words that are not in place. All the things that I have checked and repaired during the process of editing.
So, if you want all the interesting ideas in your head can flow smoothly into the worksheet in your computer, so do not be nice to open a dictionary to find the correct spelling of the word. Do it after writing.
→ Get used to write the draft of an article without looking back to top [check]. Lets your idea flows. Do not bother if you’re wrong to write punctuation or incorrect.
