[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490213567249","data":"A chef needs to learn chopping, sauteing, roasting, and grilling. She needs to understand what makes a meal nutritious and how to select dishes that taste well together. She needs to practice separating eggs, making roti, and cutting a perfect carrot flower. <\/p>Cooking mini-skills are pretty clear. <\/p>But writing mini-skills seem fuzzier. <\/p>Feeling overwhelmed?\nDisentangling writing skills isn\u2019t as hard as you think. You can practice them one by one\u2014just like you can practice kneading, mixing, and grinding. <\/p> <\/p>1.\tDon\u2019t over write.<\/b><\/p>One mistake that people often make whenever they write content for the blog or company is that they overwrite.\nIt is far too easy to write overly verbose content that drones on and on, causing the reader to lose interest.\nIf you can get your point across in fewer words, than do it. Never use 40 words to explain something that could be said in 20. <\/p>2. Don\u2019t Get Distracted. <\/b><\/p>I\u2019m sure that hilarious cat video that your friend sent you on Facebook will get you a few cheap laughs and will brighten your day, but you need to be careful.\nThe human brain takes around 17 minutes to refocus on a task after a distraction. If you lose focus while in the middle of writing, it can seriously damage the quality of your content\nIf you want to write the best quality content possible, you need to eliminate distractions.\nPut your phone on silent and disable all notifications on your computer so that you do not get disturbed in the middle of a writing session.\nNot only will you get more accomplished, but the quality of the content that you are writing will improve. <\/p>\n\n3. Use a Wide Vocabulary but Don't Over Complicate Thing. <\/b><\/p>Having a wide vocabulary is important to being a successful writer. However, there\u2019s a fine line between using intelligently selected words and overbearing the reader with large and unnecessary vocabulary. You might sound smart, but you lose the reader.\nObviously, the level of vocabulary that you use will vary widely based off of the audience you are writing for.\nFor example you would use much bigger words when writing an article on workplace psychology for consumer psychologists than you would writing an article on fitness for the everyday Joe or Jane trying to get into shape.\nHere\u2019s a rule of them: If the average person in your audience might not understand the word you are using, then cut it out. <\/p>\n4. Develop Your Own Style of Writing.<\/b> <\/p>Let me let you in on a little secret.\nSince the inception of the internet, there has been almost no content released that is 100% original.\nThat's just how it is.\nSo when readers decide to follow your content over someone else's, what the are really following is you.\nYour style, your tone, and your ability to deliver a message in new and interesting ways.\nIn the early days of your writing ventures, you might struggle to find your \u2018voice.\u2019 As time passes and you gain more experience, you will start to develop your own unique writing style.\nHaving a distinct writing style is what sets you apart from everyone else. Your style is the reason that a member of your audience will read and share your content over one of your competitors. <\/p>5. Read More. <\/b><\/p>Here\u2019s a obvious point, but vital nonetheless.\nReading more will give you more \u201cfirepower\u201d in your writing arsenal. You will learn different styles and methods of writing. You\u2019ll uncover new ideas that you would otherwise have never thought of.\nDon't limit yourself in your reading either.\nRead blogs, scientific articles, business books, nonfiction, fiction, or anything else that will challenge your way of thinking and expose you to new styles of writing. <\/p>\n6. Don\u2019t Battle the Block\nIt gets us all at some point. <\/b><\/p>The dreaded writer's block.\nYou spend hours and hours sitting in front of your computer, staring blankly at your monitor, miserably trying to come up with just one word that fits your ideas.\nWhen this happens, don't fight it.\nTake a break, head to the gym, go out and socialize, or just take a nap.\nTrying to push through writer's block will accomplish nothing and will likely prolong your inability to write.\nJust take a break and come back a few hours later with a fresh perspective and you will do just fine. <\/p>7. Get a Second Pair of Eyes.<\/b><\/p>Even if you are an incredible writer, it is always advantageous to have a second pair of eyes to review your content.\nThis is normally pretty easy if you work for another company or work with a large group of writers. If you are a solopreneur or run your own blog, it may be a little bit difficult to find someone who can review your content effectively. <\/p>If worse comes to worse, use Grammar.ly to double check your content and have a friend read it to make sure it flows well. <\/p> <\/p>\n\nThe ability to effectively convey your message and tell your story through the written word is one of the most important skills that you can develop. <\/p>With these few simple tricks, you will be able to easily and quickly improve your writing skills and use them to grow your business or your blog to completely new levels.\n<\/p>"}]
