The right way to write a piece is, that if your writing a piece that is from a point in history, you NEVER EVER copy it down and put it as your work, it’s called plagiarism, If your in college, you do that, and you’ll get kicked out, serious, the way to avoid this is to begin to study on your topic, now what you need to do is, to write down the words that you’ll be using, making it into a list, and begin to make an outline, (this is like making lines when your painting, you don’t do this, and your piece will be disorganized, readers won’t know what the heck your writing about, making your piece boring).
If your typing on you laptop or desktop computer, you indent. When you indent you press the TAB button once at every new paragraph, (trust me, it’s an essential rule to writing). As crazy as this may seem, you do the title last, or at least an idea of it. You must never be afraid to take something out, whether it’s just a sentence or a paragraph, a page, or even a whole chapter! If the new idea is better then the last one, then scratch it out, mostly every beginning idea will eventually be taken out, so don’t be surprised, if you have too, then you have too.
If your writing a paper, then write and rewrite your latest ideas, then make out your first draft, taking every idea and putting it together, just like putting Lego blocks together, it’s not that hard what you get used to it. If your writing a novel, don’t be afraid to put swearing in, if it’s a way for your character or characters express themselves then so be it, you’ll probably rewrite it anyway. Don’t be afraid to put commas, semicolons, periods, question marks, quote symbols, and other signs in, and if your using it a lot, don’t worry, your just connecting your writing. Let me give you the basics of the signs:
- Comma- you could put it as a ‘bridge’ to describe something.
- Semicolon- this could be used to describe something that is a switch in an idea.
- Period- marks flat out, an end of a sentence.
- Question mark- marks a character asking a question, if you just put a period, when a character finishes asking something, it would bore the reader silly, it would be the same old thing, ranking to nothing on the seller’s list.
- Quote symbols- mark what a character is saying, you must always do this, when a character says something that is, make sure you put who said it so the reader doesn’t get confused.
Now the you have a basics on what to do, you could write a second draft, perfecting the aspects of the sentences, take your time, concentrate, if your in a quiet environment the thoughts will come to you faster. I’m not saying that you should always be in a quiet environment in order to write a successful piece, I’m just saying that you’ll think better. Rewrite your piece, the more you rewrite the more you realize your mistakes. Then after, you revise it (rewrite it) making sure there are no mistakes, then if you think it’s done, you may be able to publish it.
In conclusion, I must tell you this, it is a said truth that a writer is never finished, you’ll be always, writing and rewriting your work, if you don’t take my word, then ask a writer, they’ll tell you the same thing. I hope you take this into consideration.
