writing skills? How would you “translate” or reword these characteristics into steps that s student could take in writing effectively? Writing skills include all the knowledge and abilities related to expressing ideas through the written word. Writing skills are an important part of communication. Good writing skills allow communicating the message with clarity and easing to a far larger audience than through face-to-face or telephone conversations. A good and successful writer is the person who proves his point for everything that he writes by giving a necessary example may be fictitious or may be from the real life incident. A successful writers’ writing is when the reader meets a voice that is distinct, a voice that is individual and appropriate. The reader meets a human who shares with him some important parts of her life experiences, ideas, and thoughts. The characteristics of a successful writer are described below: Careful attend to specific, assigned writing task - A good writer always attend specific to his writing task. This helps him keep his mind concentrated to the writing task Focus on a goal or main idea – A good writer controls his idea or focus on main idea. The controlling idea is just that: the idea that controls all of the other ideas and details that are included in the piece of writing. If it doesn’t support or enhance the main point of the writing, then it doesn’t belong. Perceptively gauge their audience – A writer keeps his audiences in his mind. Thinking for everyone the writer keeps his writing straightforward and makes the structure clear so that the reader could easily understand. Spend some time planning to write – Writing is a process that takes time and effort. Even the best writers have difficulty putting their ideas into words. As well as planning is useful because it can help organizing the thoughts and prioritize the way one present information. A good writer always spends time before writing. Easily let their ideas flow onto the paper – In good writing ideas demonstrate a clear line of thought that translates from the writer’s mind to the reader’s, which ties back to the controlling idea. The writer organizes the content in the order that he or she did, and, to the reader which feels like progression of thought flows. Follow a general organizational plan as they write – Good writers plan their messages, often using an outline or notes made before writing the message. Lack of a plan before writing may seem to save a writer time, but it can confuse the writer once she begins, and it slows the receiver. Here planning enables the writer thinking of the final product that will be created and evaluated at the end. Gradually they follow an organizational plan through their whole work. Solicit and utilize feedback on their writing – Getting feedback is a key step in the writing process. it is the comments, questions, and suggestions a reader gives a writer to produce 'reader-based prose' (Flower, 1979) as opposed to writer-based prose. A good writer always utilizes feedback on their writing.
