Good day guys, this is @bait002 the founder of the offline minnow school where minnows are mentored and groomed. Today I will be sharing on how to write better. It is important and obvious understand that here on steemit quality lies in the power of communication and only effective writers make their blogs a preference for readers.

From the background we can deduce that successful writing is what guarantees a successful blog. The implication of the preceding statement is that, before you seek to be anything else on steemit, seek first to be a good writer. Here are a few tips that you could use;

Know the fundamental rule

The fundamental rule of writing is communication. Most of us forget the essence of what we do. We forget about the fact that this writing is not meant for us, but instead for the person who is going to play the role of a reader. No one else lives in our minds. Make your statement in general terms that everyone would easily understand.

if the essence of writing is communication then, avoid every terms that will alter the process of disseminating information to your readers.

You readers are like your customers and they should always come first. The earlier you understand this fundamental principle, the better for you.

Avoid ambiguity; if any, resolve them

One other problem most readers encounter is that of ambiguity. You being the writer should look at all your statements in the light of the big picture. Don’t make on statement that means many other things. Use punctuation whenever it is necessary, that’s one swift way of resolving ambiguity. And if you have to, make sure to explain what you meant by what you said. Don’t make assumptions that people are supposed to know, cover every lapses that would make the quality of your work questionable. You don’t have to be a pro to write good stuffs all you need to do is to stick to the rules.

Read

Most of us attempt writing without having an eye for what quality writing looks like. One of the surest ways of knowing quality writing looks like is to by spending time reading them. Simply put, successful reading is one of the surest ways of improving the quality of a reader writing. When I mean reading, I mean listening through that aid at a critical level. You can’t read enough and not be able to write enough.

Seek to gather as many information as possible and broaden your horizon

You can’t write beyond what you know. And what you know is only a collection of information you have acquired. One of the secrets to having a lot to say is having a lot is our memories, both conscious and subconscious memories. Learn more in order to have more to write about.

Find a niche

This should precede the point earlier state. Gathering information should be defined. You have to find a niche before you know what kind of information you need to prioritize while gathering information. When you find a niche, there is room for specialization and specialization creates truest in the mind of readers. They would prefer going to a guy who is specialized on a topic when they need information about that topic.

Each time I intend to have a thrill of fiction I look for Suesa.

That’s what she does and she does it so well. Find something that you would want people find you for.

Get a role model

I earlier mentioned the need for learning. What we have to learn has to follow a patter and that pattern is easily gotten through a role model. I heard a chinese proverb that says;

one day with a teacher is better than several years of research.

Make it a point to look for someone who writes about what you would like to write about and learn from them. Reach out to them and make your intentions know if that’s feasible. If it is not, then do some critical study on their works. This will make a lot of things begin to happen for you.

Thanks for reading those tips, I hope you find them useful. Please make your intentions know in the comment box if you have more information that will help the readers of this article better.
