Unique Content Article: How Effective Outlining Can Help You Write Better

How Effective Outlining Can Help You Write Better


by Allec Borseci


A lot of people struggle when creating articles or papers. Some individuals can string together phrases in a very efficient way, but don't have the ability to structure their piece correctly. And others simply have no confidence in their capability to write in anyway. However, I really believe that everybody has the ability to write well. Like anything, you just need some time and practice.

There does exist one thing, though, that you can do right now to enable you to enhance the quality of your writing. That is: effective outlining. Through taking thorough notes and arranging them in an efficient outline, you can actually significantly improve the articles you write. And, while it may seem like creating an outline could increase the time that it takes to write an article, it can, in fact, lessen the time required to create a high quality piece. This is because an outline is like a guide. It will lead you from point A to point B. This is essential in the writing process, because, most of the time, the toughest part of writing is knowing what you should say next. With a good outline, you'll never be at a loss for words.

Through the use of an outline, the entire writing process becomes much less of a painful process. Content can never be poor because of what you have to say. There's an audience for anything. A piece of writing can only be poor when it doesn't get your point across in an effective way. Thus, if you can clarify the most crucial point in your article in a manner that your audience can understand, you can write quality articles. This is why successful outlining can help you. Its going to let you create a structured piece that your audience can easily adhere to and understand.

Constructing the outline is an important part of the writing process. When your outline is careless and unorganized, then, almost certainly, your written piece will be sloppy and unorganized. It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be easy to follow.

When I start my outlining process, I always put the title of my soon-to-be article on top of the notepad or word processor I'm using. That way I'm focused on the intention of the content I'm creating. Then, I'll use roman numerals, letters (lowercase and capital), numbers and other symbols (dashes, asterisks, etc.) as well as indentation to help me organize my content. (Most word processor's have extensive bullet choices that will handle this for you.)

I always begin with the introduction. Within the intro section of the outline, I generally only go with 1-2 sub-categories. Following the introduction is the body, and after that is the conclusion. The body is, clearly, the place that the majority of my notes will probably be and I normally have multiple sub-categories in this location. At the end is the conclusion.

Through every sub-category of my outline, I add the key points that will help me write a thorough article. When the time comes to write, I have a huge amount of info arranged in an efficient manner. This procedure let's me breeze through even the lengthiest articles in a fraction of the time it would generally take.

When you construct your notes into a well-organized outline in this way, article writing turns into a breeze. The more detailed you make your notes and outline, the more in depth your written-piece is going to be.

With this easy and quick method of outlining your notes, you will notice a substantial improvement in your capability to write quality content. This is definitely the method I used when going from making nothing to $1500 a month after only six months of freelance writing. Regardless of the kind of writing you do, be it for school, work, or play, effective outlining may be the simplest way to write better.
