Effective Writing

Effective writing

Writing is a tool used by a writer to express his feelings and ideas. For writers like Wordsworth it is a spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling. It is an art. 

A writer should create his work more effective. Effective writing means a work should be readable, clear, accurate and concise. The ideas flowing through the head and heart of the writer should be presented in such a way that the readers should understand the notion of the writer. The writer should strive to throw his points in a direct way.

A writer with dazzling ideas and mastery over language can be a genius person. The two enemies of good writing are

·       Repetition of ideas

·       Over elaboration of an idea

A good writing should have a perfect start, middle and end. The ideas should be arranged in a good order. The ideas should be presented using strong sentences. A writer should be aware about punctuation, capitalization, spelling and grammar in a sentence.

According to Sir Ernest Gower the golden rule for writing is to “ pick those words that convey the reader the meaning of the writer and to use them and them only. This golden rule applies to all prose, whatever it’s purpose, and indeed to poetry too” .

Rules for effective writing

·        Use brief sentence. 

·        Use active sentence.

·        Use topic sentence in a logical order.

·        Use simple words.
