Does Your Article Have Life?
The biggest mistake that people make when writing articles is that they simply report the facts like they were at a convention of the boring lecturers society. I don't care if you're writing an article about "how to build a sun porch" and you're at the part where you hammer the nails into your two by four. There is a way to do this so that you don't put your reader to sleep in the process.
Here's an example of what I am talking about. This is a hypothetical paragraph from an article on the subject of "The Beatles and Their Music." I think this will give you an idea of what NOT to write.
The Beatles first performance in public was on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. They sung a number of tunes including "I Want To Hold Your Hand", "All My Lovin" and "I Saw Her Standing There". It was a very good show and they went on to be one of the biggest bands of all time.
Can you say dullsville?
Okay, here's a much better paragraph right off the top of my head without even putting any thought into it.
The Beatles burst onto the American music scene by taking the Ed Sullivan Show and thousands of screaming teenage girls musical hostage for what seemed like an eternity of screaming and fainting. The songs, which included "I Want To Hold Your Hand", "All My Lovin" and "I Saw Her Standing There" almost didn't matter as you could barely hear what they were singing. What did matter that evening was that four legends were born and the rock and roll world was never the same again.
Quite a difference, wouldn't you say? And I wrote that after a day of fighting with motor vehicles, fighting with somebody who committed product theft and just plain fighting with my sanity after my PC technician almost sent my new Raidmax into the afterlife.
So again I ask. Does your article have life? If not, then give it some. Use your heart and soul when you write. Don't regurgitate facts. I can get a well trained monkey to do that.
God gave you heart.
Use it when you write!
