Writing for some people is a tough thing to do. Essays, poems, even blogs can be a challenge for people. However following basic steps on how or what to write can be the key to success in this constant writers block. These are some of the things that I use when I begin to have a problem, maybe they can help you.
1. Put everything down! No matter what putting something down about the topic you plan to write out can be beneficiary down the road for you. When having all these ideas floating around you are then able to formulate it and come up with this mad creation of a "messy" outline, the beginning of your essay.
2. Once you have this chaotic of an outline going, start to formulate it into a neater, not perfect and precise but a nicer formulation that you would call a "sketch" of your writing. Start to put together your ideas to create the "meat" of your paper, the body paragraphs. Introduction and conclusion are not needed to be worried about at this moment. Just getting down the main part of your essay is what is important at this point.
3. Now that the "meat" of your essay is done it's time to add the introduction and conclusion to your paper creating your rough draft. Why did you have to wait till you got the body paragraphs in before you could add the introduction or conclusion? Well now you know what you plan on talking about in your essay. Starting with the introduction and going straight through to your conclusion is extremely tough and in the end you usually end up changing things up in your body paragraphs that doesn't even come close to your introduction. Once this is all done and placed into order have someone from your class read it and give their input on the matter. Have them give you advise on any grammatical errors and/or punctuational flaws in your essay.
4. Once you have the advise of your classmate use them! Getting or having any advise on your essay can help you in the long run for your paper. This advise could even help you meet the number count for your essay is you are to low, who knows! No matter what though do use their advise and create your second rough draft. When your second rough draft is done instead of going to the same classmate you went to the first time, go to another one of your peers. Having more than one person read your essay will give you a better insight on a more precise essay in the end.
5. Finally! The final stage of your hard work. When the chaotic mess of your ideas are put together in an outline, the creation of your scetch is complete, two rough drafts with two different pairs of eyes to look over the problems in your essay and have typed it all out into a precise final draft you then are done! You then have a beautiful and highly detailed essay that is ready to be turned in to your professor and be graded.
Hopefully when you come down with a writers block perhaps look these tips over. Who knows, in the end it might just help you.
