We’ve done it through junior high, it expanded longer through high school,then in college it became chapters. No matter how many times a person has doneit, writing articles has proven to be a task many has continuously avoided. Nowat a time when writing articles could help your job or work, facing the job athand can be still faced with unfriendly behavior.
While there are a great number of people who do not have the same attitudein article writing as others, there are still those who would rather walk inpiping hot coals than do some article writing. What sets some peopleapart from others on the subject of article writing is that they are preparedand have some established methods and procedures in writing the articles.
One of the methods you can use to prepare yourself when tasked to write inarticle is creating an outline first. Creating an outline for all your articlesmakes you prepared. You have an idea of what to do first and can more easilymake a plan for your succeeding steps. Being prepared makes the job easier andfaster. Being organized will enable the creative process while at the same timehelping you to avoid the dreaded ‘writers block’ syndrome.
An outline is the framework for your article. It will guide you in creatingthe introduction, body and conclusion of your article. Write down some of theideas and sentences that you feel will look good in your article. This could besome of the focal point that could help make your article creative, interestingand appealing to a reader.
A carefully planned and fully prepared project would help to ensure aproblem and worry free procedure that can virtually go without any hassles.Creating an outline for all your articles will get you ready and breeze throughwriting an article in no time at all. Here I will provide you with some tipsand guidelines in how to create an outline for all of your articles.
Brainstorm! Jot down every idea that pops into your head. No matter howsilly it may sound to you, write it down. Don’t just think of ways to attractthe interest of your reader, write them down. Designate a time, whether it be15 minutes or an hour, and write down all the ideas that you think of to usefor your articles.
Spend the next couple of hours doing research and information searching onsome of the ideas you just wrote down in the first step, above. Take notes!Review and reread your ideas and notes, gain mastery and sufficient familiaritywith your topic so that writing them down later own will be easy for you.
The next step is to discover your sub topic and sub titles. As you’llprovide a first sentence for your article, one that would immediately grab theattention of your reader, you will need some as well for your sub topics. To beconcise, you need to get all the facts that will support and refute yourpoint.
These are the frames or skeleton of your article, now its time to add theflesh and the meat of your article. You will need to connect all yourparagraphs and sub topics. This will form the body of your article. While theintroduction will usher in the ideas of your paragraph, you will need aconclusion. The conclusion will wrap up your points and drive in what you aresaying in your article.
The outline for your article will also require you to write a draft first.This may take more than one attempt but remember that it is called a draft fora reason. Rarely, if ever will your draft be your final product. Re-write yououtline with each draft. As time goes on, your outline will be perfected witheach draft that you write. Remember, these draft’s are meant for your eyesonly. No critique of your drafts are forthcoming. As you move forward, you’llsee the bigger picture and write an article that will perfectly suit what isdemanded of it.
Reread and reread what you have written down. Always refer to your outlineso that you wont drift away from what you had first written down. Its not hardto be caught in the moment and get lost in your writing frenzy. Your outlinewill help you stay on track. All those hours spent in outlining your articlewill not go to waste. This will serve as your guide in writing articles. Trustand rely on your outline because this will prove to be a very helpful tool inwriting all of your articles.
