Are you plagiarizing content? Copying someone else's work is NOT OK; taking inspiration from it IS OK.

E.g. "I'm so happy you reconnected with me" can be "I'm thrilled you reconnected with me."

If something is important to you, you'll make time for it
You eat to keep your body nourished; how do to keep your mind active? Are you reading and writing as much as you want to? Prioritize and make time.

Does your first draft look like it isn't good enough? It probably isn't. First drafts rarely are. That's why it's important to revise and edit your work.

A not-so-great piece of something written is still better than an amazing piece of content that has still not been written.

BE PROUD OF YOUR WRITING
It’s easy to be critical of oneself, but you should pat yourself on the back from time to time.

Are you really suffering from writer’s block? Or is it laziness, procrastination, or another excuse.

Want to be a writer?
Become an avid reader. Write regularly, preferably every single day.

Don't underestimate the power of reading.

[Writing Hat @writing_hat]

Focus on writing better content rather than on creating more content. Spend time on research, but don’t forget to write.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Your writing will suffer if you constantly doubt yourself.
You can do anything. Make that your mantra and go for it.

The active voice delivers a fast-paced narrative that engages a reader.

(passive vs active voice)

A book was written by Sam. (p) vs Sam wrote a book. (a)

The child was fed by the mother. (p) vs The mother fed the child. (a)

Be clear with your writing. Your reader needs to understand only one thing at a time. Use one idea in a sentence to make it a powerful one.

#writinghat #WritingCommunity #writingtips #Writers

[Writing Hat @writing_hat]

Many writers try to sound intelligent and end up using too many complex sentences and words that readers cannot easily understand. Write for your reader. Use simple sentences and keep the language engaging.

Most of us use a favored font to write. Changing the font can create a new experience for you, which can result in unlocking creativity. This technique also works for proofreading or editing your work.
