The following is a short article I have included on some advice for
writing an essay:
- Write for easy reading - Keep it simple and lively. Most
people are lazy readers, so if you want to write to be read follow these
simple rules.
- Before you start think about your readers - What would they be
interested in? Write to arouse their interest and stir their
imagination.
- Plan and outline - Prepare a plan and outline of what you want to
say. Put your main points in logical order so that your ideas flow
from one point to the next.
- Your opening paragraph - Catch your readers attention with a bold
statement or a story. Make them want to read on.
- First a rough draft - Amplify your outline- put 'flesh on the bones'
Pretend you are talking to your readers as you write. The
important thing is to get your ideas down.
- Polish your script - Be prepared to write and rewrite several times
until it flows smoothly.
- Write crisply - Use simple words and short sentences; make your
writing lively. Use strong. positive words and active verbs; Be
enthusiastic. Share your emotions; write to express not to impress.
Write as you would speak. Develop your own style. (meaning is more
important than style); Write about people. Tell stories, relate
anecdotes and share experiences; use dialogue. Quotation marks
attract attention, so use dialogue to emphasize special points.
Invent people - invent conversations to add variety to your writing.
- Paragraphs - vary the length, but generally keep them short.
- Lively pages - leave plenty of white space to break up the text.
There is nothing more daunting than a book or report with long chapters
made up with long paragraphs.
- Edit...edit...edit - Remove all unnecessary words and phrases,
jargon and clichés. Make sure your meanings are clear and there
are no ambiguous statements. Be ruthless - chop and change and
rearrange statements until your writing sounds write to your ear.
Check and re-check spelling, grammar and punctuation.
- Your final draft - When you are satisfied give your draft to a
competent person to proofread and offer comments and criticisms.
With their fresh approach, they may find errors and omissions.
I thought I would add some time saving tips on this Page:
- Are you sure you know what your job really is - your
responsibilities and your duties?
- Check your work load - list inessential jobs and time wasting
procedures.
- Become conscious of time, without undue anxiety.
- Constantly plan your work.
- Strive for goals and objectives.
- Look for techniques that best suit your style of work.
- Cut red tape to a minimum.
- Identify your peak working hours and use them well.
- Commit yourself to responsible tasks.
- Try to get your priorities right - important jobs first.
- Practice making fast decisions.
- Don't become a perfectionist.
- Sift and sort incoming post fast, in priority order.
- Action a letter the first time you pick it up.
- Keep model letters for routine replies.
- Computerize lists for commonly used addresses.
- Index commonly used fax and telephone numbers.
- Do not file useless information.
- Develop a reliable filing and retrieval system.
- Try to complete one job at a time.
- Do not put jobs off - complete them as soon as you have the
facts.
- Keep you desk clear of clutter.
- To overcome procrastination, break big jobs into segments, set
deadlines, tell people about them and start work.
- Cultivate systematic habits.
- List working procedures, rules and policies to be followed.
