Ten Rules of Writing Good
In our hectic, word-based society, it's good to know
how to use words good. For instance, as a marketer
on the internet, it might be good if you could use
words good.
Because you might want to write an article with
words, so here are some rules about it:
1. Parts of Speech Add Zest!
Parts of speech include things like nouns, pronouns,
verbs, and proverbs. They can really spice up your
articles, so sprinkle them throughout your articles.
2. Don't Forget the Headline!
Without the headline, your article will just look
like a big lump of words. Or like a bunch of smaller
lumps if you use paragraphs. Try to choose a
headline that tells the reader something about the
article, like what it's about.
3. Know Something About Your Subject!
If you are not very smart about the subject of your
article, ask someone to read it who is or else it
could be really bad.
4. Sentence Length!
Readers get distracted by different sentence
lengths. It's not important how long your sentences
are as long as they are all the same. When you are
done writing an article, go back and take some words
out of the long sentences and put them in the short
ones. This will make your readers more absorptive.
5. Include Some Knowledge!
For instance, if your subject is How To Make More
Sales, you should actually include
some information
about that subject so your readers will benefit and
buy something from you, hopefully something that
doesn't suck.
6. Don't Use Words You Don't Know!
One of the most horipulating things you can do to a
reader is use words semaphorically. If you're not
sure what a word means, just ejaculate it for
another one.
7. Use Action!
Don't write limply. Let your reader feel the wind in
their hair with explosive, action-packed verbs, of
which I can't think of any right now.
8. Exclamations Get Attention!
HEY!!!!
See?
9. Involve the Reader!
Don't just talk AT your reader, try to get them
involved in a dialog even though you can't. Still,
it's a really good thing to do. One way to achieve
this is by asking questions.
Wouldn't you agree?
10. End On A High Note!
Try to say something really good right at the end so
readers are left with a good feeling about you and
want to buy something from you, hopefully something
that doesn't suck.
And don't forget to wrap up by reminding the reader
what everything you just said was, like that it's
good to write good because it can benefit you!
