How to write an article – Article writing tips
Writing an article requires passion, a zeal for writing. It’s a kind of a task that requires a lot ofbrainstorming, so anyone who can think logically is creative and enthusiastic can write article(s)by following certain guidelines.
As we all know that article writers are in demand these days and if you want to be a good writer,initially, write about the topics known to you, this will help you to write with full confidence.Before writing any article put yourself into the shoes of the reader and then think, what will beyour expectations from a particular article? By doing so you will be able to understand the pointof view of your reader and this in turn will make your article interesting and impressive.
There used to be a time when formal way of writing i.e. using formal language/words wasacceptable but now the trend has changed .Readers these days want the script to be moreinformal with minimal technical or formal words being used. To add on to that use can alwaysuse some humor to make your writing interesting, the mantra is “be simple and straight, avoidtechnical jargons”. Don’t be a miser but to some extent try to delight your reader by giving extrainformation, useful tips, links of related websites etc.
Tips for writing a good article
1. Deciding the topic: The first and the foremost thing in article writing is to finalize thetopic for the article. Make sure that the topic you choose should be the one that you thinkyou are thorough with or something that you like to discuss with others. Rememberarticle writing requires a lot of creativity, concentration, and dedication.
But in case the topic is fixed and you don’t have a choice make sure to become familiarwith the topic by reading and collecting information from various sources. Once you willhave the knowledge/information, writing about that particular topic will not at all be adifficult task.
2. Planning what to write: Article writer should be very empathetic; to become popularin this field you will have to learn to understand the view point of your client. Try tounderstand what kind of information your reader wants, what is his motive behindreading your article and will your article be able to fulfill that motive/need?
While planning, jot down some keywords that the reader(s) will look for while readingyour article and if it’s web article and some specific keywords are given to you rememberto use those keywords as it will improve the ranking of your article.
3. Deciding the length of the article: If there is a set parameter regarding the length of the article i.e. word limit than stick to it. If there is no such specification, than initially, donot worry about the length of the article, let your thoughts flow and write the relevantinformation that comes to your mind. Focusing too much on the article length at thisstage will hamper your creativity.
4. Give shape to your thoughts (create an outline): At this stage you know whatexactly you want to convey through your article. You should start with giving a veryimpressive introduction that will give reader the complete idea about what he/she is goingto read further. It is the introduction that will encourage the reader to read till the end, so spend quality time in drafting the introduction for your article.
The body of your article should completely focus on the problem/situation underdiscussion and must give the relevant information about the topic as well as solution tothe problem.
The conclusion should summarize the key points and the result drawn from thediscussion.
The language in which the article is to be written should be informal.
5. Formatting the article: Once you have written the article you must make sure that thereare no spelling or grammatical mistakes. Read each and every word very carefully afterall it’s about your image as a writer.
6. Revise your article: There is a saying that “it’s human to make mistakes” but for a writera single mistake can lead to serious repercussions. So revise your article and be confidentabout it.
Enjoy Writing!

Algorithms in a Nutshell $18.19 Creating software systems involves more than simply writing a program. It requires creativity and technical excellence. Technical excellence includes the ability to make programs robust and efficient. Efficient algorithms are at the heart of all but the most trivial programs. Programmers, however, seldom think about the algorithms in their programs until they encounter problems. Many programmers do not have a background in algorithm analysis and design and if they do, they don’t take the time to find the right algorithm for their needs. Algorithms in a Nutshell helps programmers select, analyze, and implement the right algorithms for their particular needs. It provides just enough mathematics to let the reader understand and analyze algorithm performance. The algorithms in the book are based upon the type of problems they address. Each algorithm is presented in the style of a design pattern – an approach, or plan for how to solve the problem accompanied by the information needed to understand why the algorithm is appropriate, how one might determine why the algorithm is the right one, and implementation tips. This is a major benefit to the reader. Just as design patterns for object-oriented design enable developers to use a common language to describe their designs, we believe that providing a pattern language for algorithms can enable similar communication benefits. |

Planning in Plain English $23.95 The ability to communicate effectively is the most valuable skill any employee can bring to the job. That’s even more true for planners, who must frequently convey an abundance of very complex, technical information to people who don’t share their planning background or vocabulary. Unfortunately, the language in planning documents frequently is so convoluted, bureaucratic, and padded that its meaning is lost or completely misunderstood. Here is help for planners who write. In ‘Planning In Plain English: Writing Tips For Urban And Environmental Planners’ , Natalie Macris draws from more than a decade of editing experience to explain how to craft clear, understandable, and highly readable planning documents. She suggests ways to overcome planners’ most common writing foibles: acronymns, jargon, and overuse of the passive voice. And she provides handy lists to transform mushy nouns into powerful verbs, pare down bloated sentences, and translate bureaucratese into everyday language. She even includes practice exercises designed to help you recognize and overcome bad writing habits. But even the best writing skills won’t help if your document is organized poorly and aimed at the wrong audience. Macris also explains why it’s essential to know who your readers are before you start writing and how to organize your work so that it will be easy to understand and use. |

Request for Proposal $59.99 Praise for Request for Proposal Bud Porter-Roth is an expert in the field of preparing RFPs, and we could not have successfully completed our project without his skill and knowledge. This book is a clear guide to an otherwise complex and difficult process. If you can’t hire Bud Porter-Roth to write your RFP, then you should buy this book. –Lori Deibel, Manager, Library Services This book is priceless. It is a must for a novice writing an RFP. –Doris Lopez, Senior Systems Engineer, O-Cedar Brands, Inc. This book brings a structure to a process that is too often unstructured. There have been no standards (outside of government) that I know of that apply to RFP preparation. I also believe that vendors (sellers) would welcome a more uniform and consistent style of RFP. –Frank Tillman, API Systems Group This book provides overall coverage on a subject that deserves some real guidance. I like very much the sentiment concerning the RFP as the basis for a team and the idea that the RFP is the beginning, not the end. His emphasis on the need for clarity in the RFP and for measurable requirements needs to be heard and understood by many within the target audience. He takes an excellent position on ‘Why Write an RFP’. –Patricia Oberndorf, SEI This book is well written and insightful. It provides good information on what makes a good requirement, how proposals are evaluated, and what precautions to take to prevent early elimination. –Linda Fernandez Just a note to tell you thank you for providing some tips on how to structure an RFP. I work for a small company who does not have a specific template for this purpose and found your guidance a very usefulstarting point. –Dan Salo Despite its importance as an initial step in the development of major technical projects, the Request for Proposal (RFP) process rarely receives the professional attention it deserves. Used by government agencies and by private corporations to solicit proposals |
