 Today let me talk and tell you about how to enhance and improve your writing skills. Many people I have spoken to believe that it is a creative skill and not everybody can write well. I completely disagree with that notion and mindset. Writing is simply like, you know, talking and speaking. Everyone does that. What will happen if you start talking or speaking in the written form? It will be called writing as simple as that. You cannot compare writing to singing which definitely could be considered as a creative hobby but not writing. It just becomes a skill set writing once you start writing regularly. I feel this skill and art of writing are natural and every person would have this trait or attribute. Believe me, the only part which one has to focus on is how to enhance or improve the writing trait so that it becomes expertise or proficiency in a way. Simple writing is definitely not a creative quality. Yes, writing poetry or lyrics is creative writing. However, anybody can write views, opinions and thoughts. Anybody can pen them down. There are four corners to improving your writing skills and all are equally important. First and foremost, it is very important to realize that writing should be treated as an original, individual and natural process meaning thereby that nobody should assume or think or attempt to copy the writings or style of writing of any third person. Then you are messing it up. Once you start having belief, trust and confidence and faith in your natural given strength writing becomes a piece of cake. Secondly, the flow of thoughts is fundamental to the art of writing or the skill of writing. It will follow naturally the writing skill. Do not interrupt your thoughts and never get distracted when you are writing something because I feel writing is born out of chain of thoughts and that requires concentration and focus of mind. But definitely for writing you need to have a bouquet or a buffet of expressions and words and by this I do not mean to say that you need to have a fabulous vocabulary but what you need is again I am emphasizing flow of thought process and usage of expressions, choice of words and language which are easily understandable. So don't get lost in choice of words. In fact based on my interaction with several audiences at different conferences, workshops, seminars and talks I have realized that the people or the listeners want to listen to a speaker who has clarity in his thoughts and is using simple language to convey it. The same goes even with the readers. People like to read simple language with absolute clarity. If you tend to use tough words in your writings for which one may have to consult a dictionary will make no sense to people though one can make out the meaning of even tough words because they are not used in isolation based on the context of a particular phrase or sentence where this tough word is used by a writer or speaker. The words do become understandable but still there is an effort required on the part of the listener or the reader. So therefore two important things which I have told you are one have trust, faith, belief in your original individual writing skills and second have a focused thought process or flow of thoughts and try to use as much simple language as possible when you are writing any piece, blog, opinion, viewpoint. Thirdly in order to become a good writer first learn to become a good reader. You need to be a good reader so as to comprehend, accumulate knowledge and information. Knowledge begets knowledge, information begets information. This will also help you in building up that buffet or bouquet of words which I was talking about earlier. Fourthly and finally, it is important to rely on your experience while writing anything. I do not mean only personal experience like things which have happened to you but what I mean to say is that something based on your understanding and familiarity and knowledge around you it could be something which you have read somewhere or you have noticed somewhere or you have heard someone or you saw something. So that becomes important database for you. Thank you for today. See you next time in another video talk.
