The magic of writing.

Abstract

The work of our daily lives leaves little time for the "accomplishment and recreation" of writing. Yet, writing accomplishes a vital service by connecting people with the world around them. It is possible to experience the joy of writing by developing some mastery of it. All writing begins with an idea; always consider that the problems you tackle today may be worth writing about tomorrow. You must collect research if you are to flesh out your ideas and get them onto paper. You will also need writing implements, a tape recorder and language references. When building an article, it helps to have an outline. You need to block off time devoted only to writing and set a deadline. A first draft is for getting ideas down on paper, and revisions are done to refine the presentation. Work on properly organizing and editing your material. Good word and sentence rhythm, carefully drawn word pictures, the use of pronouns to develop reader identification and buy-in and compelling leads and conclusions are some ways to make your writing more interesting.
