Women Writer

Taking various writing classes does not only improve the quality of your writing, if you are just silent. Become a connoisseur, without the slightest interest in moving.

Me too, without any effort and coercion then laziness will still be Tuan. Uh, but, that doesn't mean I write forcibly huh. I just need a little lash that encourages me to keep crawling forward.

It's been 5 months since the beginning I threw myself into the world of literacy. More or less I feel a change, which is not just talking about writing. Even though it's not very significant, but I feel that there is a change.

In almost every writing class I visit, one member always asks, “ Sis, how do you start writing? "Certainly, I can confirm that it is definitely questionable. On a scale of 1-10 the question is at the 8th level from which to be asked.

Then, what about the Mentor Brother's answer? All of their answers, when juxtaposed, point to the same thing. Namely, writing.

Just write whatever you want to write! Simple language like that. Coupled with various frills of the argument that an activity will not work if it does not start now.

If it's like that, I can only listen silently. Because what Mentor said was true. To be able to write, you have to start writing. That's not wrong!

But, have you ever been in a state of confusion and then asked what to do. And, the answer actually makes you more confused.

That's me, right now. In the middle of thinking hard over the answer that never came as expected. Instead of getting advice, it only adds to the confusion.

The problem is this, seen from the point of view of a writing. Is it only for oneself, or is it specially made for public consumption? Of course, the styles of delivery used by the two writings are very different. Unless, you do allow your private writing to be exposed by many people. Like, me hehe.

Why is this my biggest problem? Because, the opening sentence has a very big influence in a writing. Your readers will give you one to two minutes to decide whether or not to continue reading. Especially for people who have ' lazy reading ' disease , this will be highly respected by him.

If it feels unattractive, complicated, wordy, not important, then at that very moment he will choose to stop. Maybe not yet got to the point of writing, but he was lazy to continue.

So, with this myriad of confusion I carried out a small research. Namely, studying every piece of writing I read and then writing down the types of opening sentences. As an illustration or reference, if later I'm confused about how to start writing.

The author who begins with the description

Typical people who are diligent in searching before writing. Not just looking for information for writing material. However, to find the meaning and meaning of the keywords to be discussed. Usually, he's most familiar with the Wikipedia site. In essence, the reader must know what the meaning and definition of the topic he will bring up.

Writers who start with vent

For this one, it seems like I use it the most. Because it is quite easy, for me. Starting with experiences that are relevant to the topic to be presented. It's like telling a story, but the information that is the main purpose of the writing is inserted.

Authors who start out with pleasantries and pleasantries

Small talk is necessary, but if it gets too long it will make you bored. Yes or not? Several times I have come across the opening sentence which contains the description of the author's state when he started his writing. For example, he told me that he missed breakfast, came late to the office and is now writing after being angry with a senior. So, the next paragraph that contains the main topic flows but begins with a writing that in my opinion is not really important for others to know. Or, other kind of pleasantries.

Authors who start with quotes

One of the tricks that may be spectacular. Attract readers using beautiful quotes that are relevant to the content of the writing. Who doesn't like to read quotes? At a minimum, if the contents of the writing are not promising, there are quotes that the reader can steal. Hehehe, right? If like this, a lot of time will be wasted just looking for or even writing a quote. So, writers must be ready with savings quotes in their little notes.

Writers who start with gripping questions or sentences

The author will present seasonings at the beginning of his writing so that readers feel at home for long. This method is also quite effective in raising the reader's curiosity. Because, like it or not he had to continue reading until the end to complete his curiosity.

Writers who start with the point of conversation

People with this type of writing like this, usually have a greater chance to be able to penetrate into the selection in writing activity generally produces Cuan . The opening sentence of the writing must be relevant to the content of the writing. Not too long, not complicated, not wordy. Short, dense and clear.

Now, that's all the opening sentence category I've found so far. My message, keep writing without bothering to think about the opening sentence.

Remember that each writer has his own characteristics. And every reader has different tastes. So, we cannot force it to fulfill both.

Be yourself when writing. Don't worry about thinking ' Is my writing good, or not? 'All great things need a process that is not instantaneous. There is a bloody struggle background without you knowing.

As time goes by, you are sure to find your own way. That characteristic is really ' you' without the need to be asked and asked. You just need to learn and enjoy the ups and downs process.
