Just like reading, you have to find the type of writing you specialize in- either academic essays, journalistic articles, poems or more! To find what you want to write, you have to read it. Again, like we said in our previous post, finding what drags you toward something is what will make you want to stay. Start reading books, scientific articles, essays, and the many, many types of poems, and on the way you may find out what you like to read, but ultimately you will find out what to write. After you find your writing style, you have to find what to write about. Think of your interests! If you like baking, make a cookbook; if you like critical analysis, write reviews on movies; and if you like reading and writing, write about that! That is how we got our start, and you can too!
After you find what you like, you should sharpen your skills. A brainstorming activity that churns out great ideas is to collaborate. See what others do- find out their thought process when beginning to write and see how that fits into yours. Incorporate good ideas and negate the bad ones. This allows you to get a perspective from behind the scenes, or in this case, letters and it offers a point of view you have not seen before. It could elevate your writing to another level. If you cannot collaborate, find it out. There are so many writing templates, stories, tips and tricks on how to elevate your writing which you can find out through your peers, friends, books, or even a random stranger!
Writing does not have to be hard or boring if you do not choose it to be. It depends on perspective and if you decide to give it a chance or not. Try picking up a pencil and a piece of paper every now and then, who knows what it may lead to!
Catch you on Wednesday when you turn the page!
