How To Write Excellent Articles Every Time Even If You Hate Writing

By:


The dissemination of virtually any information is best delivered in a simple and logical progression of facts. In this piece Im going to lay out a formula, or template for writing lucid, informative articles that virtually anyone can follow. Lets take a look at how you can do just this consistently.

What Im about to outline is no secret. Good articles most often consist of three simple elements. Those are: an introduction; the body text or the actual info; and a conclusion. But such names are stuffy and not very telling as to what they really mean. A simpler way to describe such an outline would be this: Tell em youre going to tell em. Tell em. And tell em youve told em.

Its pretty simple really. Look at the way this article is unfolding. My opening paragraph briefly explains to the reader what he can expect. From here, I explain exactly what I mean, which is what this section is all about. This progression makes things easy for both the writer and the reader. It reduces writing to a simple formula, that when employed consistently, will ensure that your information comes across in an easy and understandable format.

Are there better ways to write? Perhaps. But for anyone getting started as a writer, this format is a great way to consistently get your point across and better yet, to have people understand your point. Of course, itll still be up to you to research your topic. And youll also need to arrange your facts in logical order. But once you know exactly what you want to say, your best bet for saying it so your audience can make sense of it all is the format Im using here.

Why is that? Because when a reader absorbs your opening paragraph, she knows what to expect. Go back to the first paragraph in this piece. Is there any confusion as to what youre going to get if you keep reading? I see none. The body of the article, or the actual meat comes next. As Ive already mentioned, youre going to have to actually deliver useful information on your topic and make it clear. But that isnt difficult if you know something about the subject matter or are willing to do a little research.

With your introduction followed by the main body of text out of the way you simply need to give a brief summary of what youve covered in the actual article. And that brings me to my own wrap-up for this piece.

Weve looked at a simple method for writing articles using a simple formula. And to keep it simple Ill once again state the formula in laymans terms. Here it is:

Tell em youre going to tell em.
Tell em.
Tell em youve told em.

With a little practice using this recipe you can consistently turn out articles without the anxiety that might come from using other more chaotic methods. Good luck with your writing!
