Becoming a good writer a few tips ive picked up along the way

Hello i have been writing on SEOClerks for a few months now and i wanted to write something about the tips i have learned in the past few weeks that are making me a better writer.

The first thing i do when i begin my writing is i clear my head i focus on nothing else but what i am about to write.

The second thing i do is make sure i am detailed with what i am writing about. I don't like to be to wordy but its important to get to the point quickly because a we all know time is money.

The third thing i do is make sure that i am in a good mood for writing. And, people don't realize it but your emotions or feelings can affect your "tone" of writing. So make sure that your in a good mood and your in a "Happy Place" when you start writing.

Another thing i do is give myself a time limit, its important to do this because its very easy to go off track or take way longer than needed to write something.

The very last thing i do when writing here on SEOClerks is i proof read it out loud. When you read out loud it gives you an idea of how your work sounds. You also find more typos when you read out loud rather than in your head.

I Want to hear about the things you do before after and during your writing. As always thank you for reading!

For me, the biggest challenge in any writing project is not the actual writing part but the part after that - the dreaded editing. I am my own worst critic, especially when it comes to written projects and spend probably 3 times more effort editing than writing. I try to find the perfect way to say something and that takes so much effort! The problem being, sometimes the best content is actually lost in the editing process as much of the writing process is natural and spontaneous and just flows with creativity. The editor job is pretty harsh, because you have to cut all those nice lines that don't really add anything, especially if you are on a tight word count or just responsible for producing only a few paragraphs of content rather than pages.

One thing that I have found is that keeping several back up copies of previous versions of my article helps. And, this is only for big projects - those articles which are several thousand words long, versus the more informal posts that I might do.

Sometimes when searching around for just the right thing to say, I can go back into an earlier version and find some line that I had edited out and it will be just perfect!

I am not usually on a strict deadline when writing something but when I was freelance writing, that was a constant struggle for me. As I said, I like to edit things endlessly.

One thing that is useful for constant editors is to submit the work to the client ahead of time and say, "This is what i have now. What do you think so far?" and get their feedback, so that you know if you are on the right track or going in the right direction. If not, then at least you didn't wait until the end, right?

Just some things I have learned or deal with when writing. And, there is so much more! Writing is one of my favorite things to do ever!
