Struggling to get better, or maybe you don\u2019t even know how to go about improving?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then the following\u00a0<strong>5 quick-start tips to help improve your writing<\/strong>\u00a0are for you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019ve personally used them to un-suck-ify my writing within a matter of a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now granted, I\u2019m consistently improving all the time of course, but these 5 quick-start tips gave me a quick boost to start improving my writing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And that\u2019s the point with these tips. They\u2019re not magic pills to go from bad to great, but simple tips to\u00a0<strong>quickly un-suck-ify your writing<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>get on the right path to consistently improve.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Without further ado, here are 5 quick-start tips to help improve your writing:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">1. Write How You Talk<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you wouldn\u2019t use it in a conversation, don\u2019t use it in your writing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just write how you would say it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s a lot easier to start writing this way, because you don\u2019t need to try writing \u2013 you just do it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">No analysing the style, or figuring out which word to use \u2013\u00a0<strong>just write how you\u2019d say it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Plus, if you\u2019ve ever tried to figure out how to make your writing style stand out,\u00a0<em>this is how you do it<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A conversational tone makes you human and interesting \u2013 and uniquely you, since no one else talks exactly like you.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. Keep It Short<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Throw the following idea out the window: that each piece needs to be an essay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nothing needs to be anything.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Say what you need to say, and not a single word more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don\u2019t worry about making it a certain length.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The point of your writing is to deliver a message, not appear long.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Length is irrelevant. It\u2019s about the content, not how it looks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If Leo Babauta can keep it to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mnmlist.com\/the-400-word-promise\/\" target=\"_blank\">400 words<\/a>\u00a0for some of his writing, so can you.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. Use Simple Words<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don\u2019t think you need to look like a fancy writer with your writing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Use as simple words as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don\u2019t use a long, wordy word when a shorter, more often-used synonym will do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Using simple words not only makes it easier for you to write, but it makes it easier for more people to read what you have to say.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When in doubt, refer to point #1: if you wouldn\u2019t use it in a conversation, don\u2019t use it in your writing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The point of your writing is to inform and\/or entertain, not to impress people with your word processor synonym skills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s what you say, not how you say it, that ultimately counts.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. Use a Simple Style<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don\u2019t think you need to be creative with the format or presentation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s about the content, not how it looks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes, a cool visual or formatting style can help, but it\u2019s easy to get the presentation wrong and screw up what otherwise could\u2019ve been valuable content.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So don\u2019t worry about a format or presentation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Just write and keep your paragraphs, headers, and so forth as simple as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The honing of how you present your writing will come with time.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">5. Forget What You Learned in College<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Break all the rules:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Write in first-person<\/li>\n<li>Insert opinions<\/li>\n<li>Inject words and slang you actually use<\/li>\n<li>Have one-sentence paragraphs<\/li>\n<li>And so forth\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You\u2019re done playing by professors\u2019 rules (who probably hated those rules anyway), so no need to keep following term paper rules.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unlike breathing, drinking, and eating, there\u2019s no right way to write.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since writing isn\u2019t something you need to do it to survive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There\u2019s no right or wrong \u2013 only sucky and awesome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So just have fun writing.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Quick-Start Tips to Help Improve Your Writing<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you feel you\u2019ve been in a writing rut, stuck with your current level of writing, hoping to somehow get better, then these\u00a0<strong>5 quick-start tips can help you break through that wall and start improving your writing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">No, these tips aren\u2019t magic pills to \u201cInstant Writing Success!\u201d, but they\u00a0<em>will<\/em>\u00a0get you on the right path to consistently improve.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I know they\u2019ve greatly helped me. After all, you\u2019ve read my writing this far without clicking the Back button, so hopefully I did a decent job of informing and maybe even entertaining you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">How about you?
