My way of writing
When I try to write about something, I will choose the following steps in regular order.
1- Research a topic you want write about.
Do not guess or overhear. If you know little about the topic, don’t write down. (You can’t anyway)
2- For the first draft, write down whatever you want say about the topic.
You might find out your involuntary opinions in there.
3- Organize the draft writing in chronological order.
In another word, don’t jump your opinions here and there.
4- Catch attentions of readers as soon as possible.
Introduction is very important. You have to hook readers otherwise your writing will be in vain.
5- Most important thing is cut off the words you don’t need so much.
That will make sentences clearer and quicker to read.
6- Choose easy words and sentences.
Nothing is more unpleasant than look up words in dictionary a few times in one sentence.
7- Don’t beat around bush.
If you want say it, say it straight.
8- Use writing techniques such as proper conjunction, smile, metaphor or transition.
Make sentences smoothly but be careful not to overuse those techniques.
9- Write a good conclusion sentences.
A English proverb says “All’s well that ends well “
10- Stay away from your draft at least a few hours before you publish.
You might find some mistakes in your sentences.

Hi, everybody,
I was late with the assessment, then, when I was ready to publish, I discovered that we have learned the theory from our teacher well; in one way, or another we repeat Brad’s tips he has taught us.
Taking this into account, I am about to write down some of my tips that helped me, somehow, to survive in the dangerous world of my English writing.
1. I try to write (if possible) about the subjects that I know well or exited about. In this case, my writing goes easier.
2. Also, I try to imagine my audience beforehand. It helps to use a suitable style, vocabulary and literary devices.
3. For creative writing, I need to be in creative mood and, also, I need to catch the moment when I feel well physically and emotionally. Clear head produces clearer thoughts.
4. After "pre-thinking" and free hand-writing about the subject, I usually do outline for the writing while choosing more interesting, convincing ideas and organizing them in a suitable order. It helps to make the most effective structure for the certain task.
5. After compiling first time my writing on the computer and checking it with Brad’s tips, I complete what I call “first draft.”As a dough, it needs to be at rest for at least several hours.
6. Then, again using Brad’s tips, I do all steps of proofreading: checking grammar, taking away “fat”, reading aloud, printing, reading again in order to find more “national and international” mistakes.
7. “Off you go!” Even it is never perfect, it is now ready for the critics’ eyes. For me, to have a feedback is very important, for it is the most effective way of learning -learning on my own mistakes.
My Ten Tips for Writing
1.Choose a topic which can catch readers’ attention most. Usually a real event in your life is effective.
2.Make your writing meaningful. Leave something for readers to think or give readers a lesson or a warning after reading.
3.Tell one thing in your writing. Stick on your topic. Don’t wander off the point. Take out those irrelevant statements.
4. Write simply and clearly. Make sure your writing easy to read. Don’t frustrate your readers.
5.Use simple words and simple sentences. Make your article lucid and lively.
6. Come straight to the point in the beginning.
7. Give a conclusive end.
8. Keep the original idea when you revise the writing.
9. Be careful with the length of the writing. Readers would be exhausted by long winded writing.
10. Give some proper polish by using a simile or a metaphor in your writing.
