Today, I'm going to teach you the steps you should follow in order to create a successful Writer's Application. ~Step 1- Brainstorming~ In order to create a successful written work, you should keep one important thing in your mind; A good story needs a good plot. A plot is the events that make up a story (What happens in the story). Be patient with this step; you have to have a very interesting idea, or the reader will get bored. Worst case scenario in an application; you're denied, when the recruiter has only read a few sentences. Keep the reader interested. That's the golden rule. You should find a good, open spot in your schedule to brainstorm. Before you begin writing, make sure that you don't just have an idea, but you must have a good plot. If you're having writer's block, you can also just go somewhere and if you see something interesting, write about it! Once you are confident with what you are writing, start writing! ~Step 2- First Draft~ Now that you have a good idea/plot in mind, you can begin writing! It doesn't matter how you write it, just pick up your pen and let your hands do the thinking. It's okay if you make a mistake, because you can revise it later. After you write each paragraph, you should be looking it over and making sure everything is the way you want it. ~Step 3- Revise Your hands have been doing the thinking, so now it's time to give your hand a rest and start thinking yourself! Read over your story a couple of times, and fix any mistakes you see. This includes spelling mistakes, words that can be improved, and so on. If you see any weak words that you think could be improved, find a thesaurus and improve it! Remember that you're trying to be descriptive, and catch the reader's attention and interest. Read descriptions over, and if you're having trouble picturing it (Base your image only on what you wrote), then fix it! ~Step 4- Final Draft Your story is all revised, and you are now ready to write everything out on your paper! As you're writing, if you see anything that you think you missed while revising, fix it! It's not uncommon for a writer to come across something they want to change while writing their final draft, even after it has been revised! ~Step 5- Typing it Out (Optional) If you have a computer, it would be wise to type out your written work to make it look more neat and formal. Don't be afraid to spice it up a bit and make it look stylish, like give it interesting font, pictures, etc! ~Step 6- Presentation Final revision. Make sure that the written work looks presentable. This means that everything is neat an organized, and that the story is interesting. If everything looks good, you're done! Now enjoy reading your story! :) #Post#: 4209-------------------------------------------------- Re: BM075- A Guide to Writing By: nijkolime Date: January 19, 2013, 12:29 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Very good guide #Post#: 4211-------------------------------------------------- Re: BM075- A Guide to Writing By: daflowergirl Date: January 19, 2013, 1:10 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Thanks!! ;D #Post#: 4219-------------------------------------------------- Re: BM075- A Guide to Writing By: blackmustangs075 Date: January 19, 2013, 1:42 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Lol, thank you!
