1. ATMOSPHERE AND MOOD

Having an urge for writing keeps you restless and anxious to be active. Now you have to set up an environment congenial to your taste and mood. Writers have different choices of writing atmosphere. Some can write with an activity around them, others seek total silence and solitude. I personally fall under the latter category. You know your ideal atmosphere. Do create it for yourself.

The very first step is to realize your core idea or theme of the article which you must already have in your mind. Now you have to think up a title which catches attention of your readers. Make it simple and relevant to the body of the article.

3. MAKE AN OUTLINE

Internet offers abundant tips on how to write an article in 20 or 30 minutes. Should it be your definite goal to write maximum number of articles in a day, then practice speed writing. But, make sure you do not crush the quality on the anvil of time factor.

5. SPELL CHECK AND PROOFREAD

Make it your habit to review, spell check and proof read your articles before final submission to an Article Directory or publishing on your own blog / website. It costs you a few minutes and saves from a lot of embarrassment. Being a beginner, you have to learn to be patient, tolerant and cool.

Regular study of internet articles, newspapers and magazines broadens horizon of your knowledge and information. Also carry a pocket notebook and jot down any idea that strikes you whether it seems ridiculous, bizarre or meaningless to you.

Bon voyage!
