How To Write Without Pain


HOW TO WRITE WITHOUT PAIN
by Antonio C. Antonio

I was almost tempted to use the title “How to Write Without Even Trying” but it just doesn’t make much sense, doesn’t it?  One just has to “try” when writing so there really is no point saying “without even trying”.  I also tried thinking of another catchy title but I eventually chose “How to Write Without Pain”.  Why?... because writing, to most people, is a painful exercise; but any exercise eventually brings us to a certain degree of comfort, expertise or even perfection.  So here are some personal tips for painless writing…
  1. Never think you are not a writer.
  2. Never write about complicated subject matters.
  3. Write about things that you love talking about; and never get too attached to the Internet.
  4. Write as if you are telling your favourite story.
  5. Make a simple outline --- Introduction, Discussion and Conclusion.
  6. Use your own thought patterns.
  7. Use words that are comfortable to you; use your own brand of speak; and, never wait for the right words to describe your thoughts… write the first word that comes to your mind.
  8. Move words, sentences and paragraphs around your article until the thought “flow” becomes continuous.
  9. Set a self-imposed deadline.
  10. Leave at least half a lesson.

Writing is a good mental exercise and everyone should try it.  I hope these ten tips will help solve the problem: “How to write without pain”.

Just my little thoughts…
