Efficiency Builders for Article Writers
Posted by Chris Turner on December 7, 2009
Many see writing articles as a nuisance. I happen to disagree with this belief. I think that article writing can be one of the most fun and rewarding activities there is.
Some people simply don’t know what to write about and their mind draws a blank when they’re called to the task. I know the frustrations about this, but there are ways around it.
While it always requires a bit of hard work, the process of writing articles can be made much easier by applying a few basic rules. Keep some of the things I’m about to discuss in mind and you’ll do well.
People enjoy reading articles with lists, and writing them is one of the easier ways to write an easy read. This way, you’ll know the items that made your list (i.e. a top ten list) and you’ll have an easy time writing a paragraph or two about each.
Telling a story may also be an effective means of writing articles. Don’t be shy about interjecting your own personal experiences, in addition to your personality. People love reading stories in general, and they’re generally more entertaining than articles that are purely factual. A little personality never hurts.
Sometimes I’ll challenge myself to finish a number of articles in a given time period. Not only does this keep me concentrating on the task at hand, but it becomes more fun when I’m trying to set new personal bests.
I like to treat myself to little rewards when I’m done writing for the day. If I know that I have to write five articles in one sitting, I’ll take myself out for ice cream when I’m done, or I’ll take a break from my work to watch my favorite TV show.
Lastly, I’d recommend that you work to improve your typing speed and skills. This will go a very long way toward improving your overall efficiency. In typing quickly, I find that I can write an article in half the time that most people can.
