Essay Writing Tips

Reading the summary of the book (whose cover stands out above) ‘The Elements of Style’ by Strunk and White have taken some interesting to say the least. This book is a must-have in the global blogosphere, from what I heard and understood. Let me try, now, to put into practice these 10 valuable tips on writing style must have a blogger in his post. This, you see, the rules simple and easy to apply, but should ensure a pleasant writing style, concise and, therefore, well appreciated by our readers. We summarize below the 10 points insisted upon in the book and I would also like to know, in the end, what you think and if you already applied to someone.

Work with a specific project in mind: I would say that does not need many comments as the basis for everything. Every blog and every article must necessarily have a specific purpose. Use the sections: readers are often reluctant to read long blocks of text infinitely. Split a post into paragraphs is to allow readers to reflect on what they read and digest better individual blocks. The reading should, however, be pleasant and relaxing and not urgent.

Fix and rewrite: the revision or correction that is part of writing a good article. Fear not though, the second reading of what you wrote, you have to correct 50% of the text. An article over again, revised and corrected it repays the time ‘lost’ in the reviews. Omit unnecessary words or phrases: a blog of articles kilometers succcesso not necessarily public, but only after clear and essenzaili. To express one or more essential concepts do not need millions of words, indeed, tired and bored. Go straight to the point, in other words.

Use a clear and defined: see above, in practice. Without mincing words and sentences of simple construction we can get to the point. It benefits from the clarity of the concept expressed, and consequently the reader. Type in a natural way: you always think, write, Avre of a contact person in front of you shared. The average reader is neither an expert nor illiterate. The natural language (and neither polished nor low-level) with all pays off. Write clear: it seems the same concept as above, but clearly refers to an article by well-defined phrases. Insert paragraphs, blanks and similar to an article gives an organization which then results in mental clarity.

Do not use diminutives or jargon: in this case I would say do not abuse. In the sense that the word of slang or the pet may also occur, but as long as they remain isolated cases so that the reader understands, however, the basic style of your articles are always stamped with the correct and precise vocabulary. Do not use too many foreign words: it is true that, especially for blogs that deal with information in Italian, English, check everywhere. But do not abuse if there is no need. Know that not all those who read (although it is increasingly rare in 2009) speak foreign languages ??and then, in so doing, they will do away rather than the other. The right dose it never hurts.

Do not use too many abbreviations: technical blog or not, its use of abbreviations or acronyms does not always pay. As mentioned above, many readers might meet for the first time that some of the terms, maybe you are stranoti. Try to simplify things to the reader rather than to you.

At first sight it might seem that some points express the same concept, but instead each has a definite purpose and target. I, for now, I’ll try to put a lot of attention.
