Right Attitudes for Effective Writing

Effective writing begins with a desire not only to write but also to write well. Desire galvanizes your efforts to improve your writing skill no matter what.

First of all, embrace the right attitudes to learning effective writing:

Improving your writing skill takes time and effort. You cannot master it overnight.

Overcome any negative attitude you may have, such as “I’m not good in English” or “English is never my strong subject.” Negative thinking may adversely affect your mindset and mental capability to write effectively. Always be positive about your ability to write well. After all, it is just a skill, and it is learnable.

Dispel the myth that a writer is born, not made. Writing is no more than a skill that can be acquired, learned, and taught.

Develop self-confidence that you, too, can acquire effective writing through the following:

Learning the basics of writing

Following clear instructions

Looking at samples of effective writing

Practicing writing regularly

With confidence, you will become more willing to express yourself, instead of worrying about making mistakes. It is better to write with mistakes than not to be able to write at all. Remember this: a creator is worth all the critics.
