I won’t need to be a good writer to be good at my job

You don’t have to be the best writer or a perfect writer but by working on and improving your skill set, you make things easier for yourself in the future. Don’t let this skill set dwindle, work on making sure that you are as good as you can be at getting your ideas across.

Building Your Extroverted Internal Editor

Editing your own work is difficult for a variety of reasons, but the biggest hurdle for many students is the fact that because they know what they meant to say, they believe that is what they did say. In order to learn to see the words on the page as they actually exist, you need to practice.

I can’t figure out how to use a source!

Sometimes you do not know where to begin your paper; in those cases, choosing a good source and then using it as the basis for the subject and contents of your paper is another great option. If that is what you’re working on, then it can be good to use both a strong quote and a bit of analysis or a statistic. In order to expand upon the work in the source, think about both the elements in the work and what they describe in the world. It is important to be detailed and expansive in your descriptions, don’t assume that others see the references that you see or know what you know. Take the time to describe them, and show the reader not just the things you see as connected but the path that connects them.

Social Media Versus College Homework

It doesn’t have to be war. Really! Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, or gaming can keep you from getting your homework done, but that’s up to you. The point is to not stay on social media while you work, or keep them going simultaneously. Use social media as a reward; don’t keep the Web sites open or notifications turned on while you’re working.

How to Write Like a Professional Writer

Another key to writing more quickly is to ignore or set aside your feelings about the class, the professor, your grade, etc. Students often lose hours to having emotional responses to thing like, how stupid the class is, how mean the professor is, how important their grade is, and more. All of it can feel good and it is a great way to procrastinate, but it is no way to get a paper written so that you can get back to the rest of your life and studies.
