If you are accustomed to reading, then you must be interested in writing. Our personal experience in writing is that it requires three things, one is to write and the other is to write and the third is to write. The important thing to be written. But the question is how?

This question is present in the minds of many people who are interested in writing. In the age of internet and social media it is not that we lack ideas or content or we don't have arguments for our position but a new writer still finds himself at a crossroads on how to start writing. What to do?

How to organize and organize thinking and information into arguments? How is it possible to choose a genre and topic, reflect on the topic, gather research and material, choose an introduction to the topic, organize the content, and shape the story to the end in a way that takes the reader along? We all feel a hesitation at the beginning of the writing process. Let's take a look at how these steps can be easily handled.

The choice of gender should not be difficult for you if you want to write. If you are interested in fiction or fiction or story, then you can try a hundred word story and from fiction to novel. And if you are interested in writing non-fiction, then the field is for you from news, newspaper articles, editorials, memoirs, autobiographies, historical articles and travelogues to personal sketches. Just remember that in fiction the servant is free while in non-fiction the principle of nothing but truth and truth applies so caution is a condition.

Older writers usually have no shortage of ideas, but the new writer's first question is what to write. A simple answer is "anything" but I suggest that you start writing with a list of your ideas on which you want to write.

If you are active on social media, you should have no shortage of topics. Any topic that interests you, that you are passionate about, or that you know more about, or that you want to share with others.

We have our own opinions on different topics according to our tastes which sometimes differ from others. If it is difficult to decide because of the multitude of topics, pick up a pen and make a list of all the topics you want to write about. Now choose one of these topics and don't waste the rest of the topics. Try saving this list online on mobile or computer.

Take advantage of these exercises if a blank page runs out of food.

Remember that your article, whether fiction or non-fiction, is based on the word story at the moment and has to be arranged in such a way that the reader is like an interesting story from beginning to end. Keep up the good content This is the difference between a subject and a complete article, that is, your finished product.

Now describe the topic you have chosen in one or two sentences and outline it to shape the article.

Some new writers bring in many other articles on the same subject and the writing becomes irrelevant. To avoid this it is also important that the focus of the topic be written up in one sentence. It can be reduced later but it will help to focus the mind.

Some writers write very well and fluently without outline or planning. It is good if you are one of them but this is the professional method and it has many benefits. At least new writers must get used to it.

This helps a lot in organizing and coordinating the writing and also assesses whether there is appropriate content for the article. Outline is also useful for separating things that are sometimes off topic if there is too much content in mind.

In both cases there is a need to do more research, even if the content is sufficient or not, especially if your field is non-fiction. Research is also very important for writing standard fiction.

Think of a good start to writing. It could be an interesting event or a story, or a quote from a well-known person, or a question that would make people think and read on.

Remember, if you get the reader's attention at the beginning, hit half the field, because if the reader doesn't like the beginning, he leaves the article before the first paragraph ends. That's why it's important for the introduction to be interesting.

Similarly, the proper conclusion of an article or fiction is very important. Some writers come to the conclusion after writing the whole article and get confused as to how to finish it.

One solution to this problem is to think about the beginning and the end while doing other things at home or outside. Creative work is not possible without reflection. Also, while researching, keep separating the concluding material. The conclusion in non-fiction also summarizes the whole article.
