Rules for Effective Writing

1)    Passion:  Enjoy what you are writing about.  Without passion or interest you are unlikely to succeed.  Readers can tell if you are truly interested or if you’re just writing because you are told to.
2)    Connection:  Go back and reread your writing to make sure there is a clear connection to what you have already said and what you are planning to say.  Your writing is like a road, you must have a path to follow and an idea of where you’re going.
3)    Dedication:  You must have an ample amount of time to spend on your writing in order to research your topic of discussion.  When a paper is rushed, readers can tell.  It often results in uncompleted thoughts and misguidance.
4)    Be Mindful of Your Audience:  Age, gender, and culture can often determine the language you decide to use.  When times change, often so does the common language used.  You want to make sure your audience is intrigued so you don’t lose their interest during your writing.
5)  Reread:  Make sure to reread you writing not once, but many times.  If your writing doesn’t make sense to you, there’s a very good chance your audience wont understand it either.  Rereading can also help you to free your writing of grammatical and spelling errors.
