How Do You Motivate Yourself To Write?

Post by CDawson »

I call to mind the following quote from Vladimir Nabokov when I'm looking for motivation to write: The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.

Writing is not an easy task at all. You have to consider important aspects like:

1. Readability
2. Tactfulness
3. Positivity
4. Activeness
5. Coherence
6. Clarity
7. Conciseness

If you don’t keep the above points in mind, your manager might question your writing skills. So it’s better not to take your writing very lightly, and improve it. There are many organizations such as “The Language Lab” online, that can save your resources and time

For what it is worth, I recommend that you read A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language. The book is excellent. Do you want to learn more about adverbs? The book educates the reader on adjuncts, conjuncts, subjuncts and disjuncts. After you become proficient with syntax, learn about structuring content. I hope this information was helpful.

I find no better way other than writing about something that actually interests you. Reading is one of the prerequisites to improving your writing skills. However, not any type of reading. Books that are tailored to your English level are found to be the best for learning and improving. It is just common sense that reading tough and difficult books frustrated you and does not allow you to learn. It is the same with writing. You are unlikely to struggle for motivation when the topic actually interests you and is not something that's forced upon.
Thank you!

I look motivated while writing because my mind is set on writing... I don't take it as work I enjoy writing and feel the emotion of readers concerns.
