Article Writing - The Easy Way to Write Articles

Hope Wilbanks

If you want to write articles but can't seem to get started, I'd like to show you an easy way to write articles without stressing out. There are five basic steps: preparing yourself, doing research, forming an outline, writing the draft, and polish and revise.

First, prepare yourself mentally. Be your own cheerleader. Tell yourself that you can write articles. Tell yourself that you have all the thoughts, ideas and words that you need to write good articles people will love to read. Above all, stay positive!

Next, start your research. If you will write an article about a topic you don’t know much about, do some quick research online. Gather facts and information that you can use to write your article.

Now you’re ready to write your outline. If you don’t outline already, you are missing a crucial step to your article writing process. Using an outline can help you generate lots of ideas really fast. Don’t worry about being formal. Just write down a simple outline of how you think the article should flow.

Once your outline is finished, you’re ready to write the first draft. You should turn off the editorial side of your brain and just write. Let all your ideas flow freely onto the paper. Write every single thing, even if you’re not sure if it fits or not.

Finally, edit, revise, and polish through to the final draft. Fix any grammatical errors you find or spelling errors. All these little things do matter and should be fixed before you publish the article.

Now you have the five basic steps to article writing. Use it!
