I like tip number 2 the best because it’s time-consuming for a writer to check everytime he/she writes.

One of the best compilation of short writing tips I’ve read so far. Nice.

I know what you mean by the no.1 tip. Sometimes, instructors tend to be so rigid in the proper tone that a person can get lost finding his own voice and style on paper… Also, no.2 is something that everyone should (really, really) strictly practice. Your creativity and flow of thoughts tend to get thwarted when you have to pause every now and again for grammar errors.

Tip number four is for me the most important of all, especially for a budding writer. Almost all seasoned author, novelist or poet will agree that in order to produce a good material, one has to write with his heart first, then with his head. Meaning he should just let everything flow naturally, not minding the grammar and spelling. Editing can be done after every finished paragraph. I know this is effective because I applied this principle in my thesis writing.

I totally agree with these tips specifically to this one: Worry about grammar and spelling later. Many students are too conscious of the technical side of their academic writing even at the start of the writing process. this may hinder creative juices from naturally flowing out. Just write everything down and edit later right? Nice post.

I agree that an outline can often be an important tool to get the ideas flowing, as well as to give your writing structure. The only caveat I would add is that if you’re spending too much time on your outline, your losing out on time you could be writing. Don’t forget you can always go back and edit later.

Thanks for the additional tip Minnesota Attorney!

One more tip for your consideration: Outline first. One of the most frustrating parts of writing is having to figure out what to say next. If you have an outline, you just look to the outline.

While it may seem like extra work to write an outline, it’s much easier to see the context of your article in outline form, making it easier to reorganize. Also, reorganizing an outline is simple, but reorganizing a written work requires rewriting segues and introductory paragraphs. The end result is an outline can save a substantial amount of time and relieve writers block.

[...] only about what they know best. After all, haven’t we been told time and again that we should write what we know? The biggest problem with doing this is that we never broaden our horizons. We simply regenerate [...]

[...] Another difference is that I’m not sitting here at my computer at home writing it. That’s got too many interruptions attached to it. There’s my internet connection. There are the dogs. There are endless cups of coffee, the laundry, the garden, research, and writing my blog. All the things Cathy does, incidentally. Write what you know. [...]
