Blogs are an Art Form that Takes Practice to do Well
Writing?Blogs?Blogs are on-line journals where people express
themselves through writing. Writing?Writing is the process where
one puts down words of a language on a format that others can
read. This process has not been around very long, to use one of
my writing teacher's favorite sayings, "Writing has only existed
for one day in the one year that humanity has existed." Speaking
and thinking come much easier than writing. These processes just
flow out naturally like a river of consciousness; sometimes we
hardly have to think about doing them. Anyone and everyone can
write words down on paper but that doesn't mean it's 'good
writing', myself included. Like most things in life, our society
already takes writing for granted which is proving to expose more
of our ignorance. Writing is a new form of expression, and if we
want to do it in a way that the masses can connect with our
ideas, we have to think much more simply and clearly about this
art.
Now that was quite a big paragraph, you've got to wonder if I
really needed to say as much as I just did to introduce this
article on the best way to write your blogs on the Web. I didn't
even mention this main idea, and that's what an introduction
paragraph is meant to be for. This is a common mistake in many
blogs out there. We try to get too many ideas across in one
paragraph, sometimes even in one sentence! The key, as in all
things in life-is to keep it simple. Simplicity means that
readers won't get confused about what your journal entry is
actually about. Introduce your main general topic at the start,
and use the subsequent paragraphs to discuss separate ideas that
relate to this topic. Try to tie everything up in the concluding
paragraph, your main argument and the reason why you've written
in the first place.
Grammar and sentence construction are not easy systems to
master, especially if you come from a school system that spent
more time telling you about historical battles and quadratic
equations than on how to read and write. This is a real problem.
When we speak we can get messages across to others easily, but if
we put these words down on paper, the writing just isn't
interesting and doesn't connect with people's curiosities and
fascination. When you write you are not talking to a close
friend. You can't use slang and colloquialisms that only your
local community can understand. The aim is to connect with all
the people in the world, so let's make it crystal clear and
enjoyable to read.
Your computer has spelling and grammar checks, as well as
access to a thesaurus. Use them, but remember that the machine
can't decipher all the intricacies of language. Language is a
world in itself, and much of its territories are undiscovered by
the masses. So, again keep it simple. Short, precise sentences
with single ideas are great. Many words in the English language
have the same meanings (synonyms). Use the thesaurus so you don't
repeat the same word over and over throughout the text. It keeps
the story fresh and doesn't turn the reader off. There's nothing
more boring than repetition. Using different words can be a lot
of fun and a learning experience, just make sure you use a
dictionary (also on the computer/Internet) to make absolute sure
of the word's definition.
Readability?Simplicity?Make your blog accessible by all
people. You can even take into consideration that many readers
will have learned English as a second language. As I've said in
previous articles, keep to the point-don't go on tangents. Stick
with the article's topic, and definitely stay within the realms
of your blog's main area. If your blog is entitled "Jazz music",
people who go there don't want to hear about how your football
team won on the weekend! Please be consistent. How irritating is
it to visit a blog that hasn't been written on in months or
years?
I hope these little tips will help you on your quest to
producing 'good' writing that brings new friends and
acquaintances of similar outlooks into your world. If you want
people to read, the aim is to produce an emotional reaction in
your reader. Pretend you are writing to another form of yourself,
if it were not readable, interesting and fun?would you stick
around?
