Basic writing skills I can spare
1. Punctuations placement
When writing always acknowledge that your punctuations add beauty and wholesomeness to your story. Punctuations are very important, your full stop (.) brings a stop to the sentence, a comma (,) brings meaning to the your long sentence and your question mark (?) makes a sentence an everyday reality and also relatable.
So are the others not mentioned above; before you make a pretty onset in writing you must know when and where to make use of every punctuation.
*Every writer must acknowledge this so as to write meaning to the readers.
You can get an English/ Literature booklet to read this up..
2. Correct spellings of words.
Most times, We spoil our work with just an incorrect spelling of a word so while writing make sure to confirm the spelling of your words from a dictionary ; believe me it will do you a whole load of good and most importantly save you from embarrassment of any sort ..
Remember there is an American English and British English spelling, therefore when you start with one never forget to send with it..
Example, there is "Organization which is British English spelling and then Organisation which is an American English spelling."
Rather than looking into a dictionary, it is also very important to be exact on the English dictionary you are writing from.
3..High range words
In as much as it's ok to make use of big words, it is also very necessary to break down sentences with smaller words.
Alot of people don't enjoy reading big words as the won't have any opportunity or time to look it up in the dictionary.
This doesn't mean it's ok to use small words only in your sentences throughout the story/niche , it is okay to make use of big vocabulary but don't overdo it.
High ranged words pursue people away from your niche most times without you knowing it does..
Example, " Multitude, use Crowd instead." Edifice, use Roof instead."
Little words that the readers are familiar with makes reading easy that even if a big word is met afterwards it will be easy to check up and remember.
4. Paragraphs Taking/ Organization
Paragraphs bring orderliness to the sheet that your niches are written. This is to say that a paragraph serves as a cleaning agent to your writing, each paragraph has power packed sentences and words that brings the hunger and longing for a reader.
Your paragraph organization determines how glued your reader will be on the beauty you have written.
*Don't write a sentence and just immediately make another paragraph, it will be so wrong..
5. Languages / Infatuation
While writing you can add relatable quotes and mix languages. Most times, languages are mixed to bring excitement to the reader; the joy your reader derives from reading combined languages is a whole lot of joy.
Example, " Writing English mixed with pidgin English or writing Igbo mixed with an English slang."
It is something else and absolutely enticing, reading my dialect and English language is amazing..
6. Quotes Application
When writing a story or poem, quotes are played around but for an article it is said as it is.
Quotes are very important in articles as it brings value and meaning to the article.
This is because articles are straight writings and therefore deserves strict clarification.
