Can you imagine how important writing is, special in
research? Imagine a life without it and everything was handed down in verbal means
and we could have achieved much less; do you think we still have enough and
accurate information from the past and determine the truth from gossip? Through
writing we can recall or reflect back what we or others have written. We can
say that writing is important, because written document serve as proof and
accurate.
Some people find writing as a hobby and some find it hard.
Common reasons of this are because of fear of being laugh at and afraid of making
mistakes. I myself find it hard, but I think for those people the same as me we
should at least try our best to step out from our comforts zone and stop
blocking ourselves because of others. Make a changes, do something that would
create a little twist. How boring would your life be without any challenge? Nobody does perfect so why hesitate and making
mistakes is not always a bad thing, the truth is it will help us to become
better. Don’t worry, we can also benefit from writing because it widens our
imagination, exercise our brain, and improves our vocabulary and grammar.
Writing an essay is not easy, especial looking for a topic. Most
of the people experience this even a professional writer, they call it
creativity block. Try this it’s what I do when I experience creativity block,
go to a place where you could find a lot of books or magazines. Browse through
the covers and list everything that interests you (pictures, titles, words, etc…).
I think this will help you gain more ideas and helps you to get a topic of what
you like.
Another problem would be the place where your mind can relax
and think. Since you’re in the library stay there and start brainstorming ideas
if not find a place with less noise like a coffee shop, in your room or find a
corner that you think would be comfortable for you to write. If not the place,
it could be the time. Find a time that you think your mind can function well, it could be
in the morning, late at night or in the afternoon.
Starting to write, start writing everything in your head as many
as you can, don’t mind your grammar, your organization of your essay and what people are going to say, because this would help you express your self and
write more ideas. When you’re done, it’s the time for editing. Fix your grammar,
spellings, the organization or the flow of your essay and try to remove some of
it that you think you’ll regret.
I think a good writer is the one that can move or motivate a
person through his/her works. Remember to do that is to share what you have
written to others.
