5 Tips For More Compelling Writing

1) Always add a photograph or illustration, if possible. It is definitely true that a picture is worth a thousand words. It almost seems like a crazy way to start a list on writing tips with this one, but it is very true. Pictures always grab people. They get attention and draw people to your writing. Then, they help keep people at your page. If an illustration is not allowed for some reason, paint a picture for your reader with your words. Be descriptive and entertain their senses.

2) Keep your sentences and paragraphs short. This makes it easy for people to read your work. Don’t spool out real long, ongoing sentences and chunky paragraphs. Keep it easy, fresh and to the point. When it’s easy reading, it’s enjoyable to read, and the reader’s get your point. That is your goal.

3) Bullet points and subheadings help guide people through your writing. And readers will process the information better when presented in pieces. So, always number steps, strategies or ideas whenever you can. It also captures interest and helps people remember what you have written.

4) It is so important to be clear and concise. Tight pieces are easier to read and easier on the eye. This will delight your reader. Always make it your goal to write in an interesting style. Do not throw in a bunch of extra words describing things multiple times. Pieces that are too long and complex are often confusion. If you have more to say, why not break it into two pieces?

5) Never wander far away from your central point. Getting too many ideas and thoughts splashed through your piece will confuse readers about the main idea. It’s a good idea to build an outline before starting. What’s your main objective? Then choose about three or four subpoints that support it. Make sure each point is relevant to your piece.

Five fast and easy tips have been gone over for you. They are simple, but do not undervalue the power they hold. You will get amazing results when you put them to use. Best of all, you can start using them today. You are on your way to strengthening your writing skills already.
