Do you know the biggest lie ever told about article writing? Admittedly, it's so subconscious that you'll probably remember someone saying it at one point or another. And not to say, I know that you'll never say anything like this.

And here it is: "I can't write for god's sake!"

The biggest lie ever told about article writing is that someone can't write.

Face it. If you can talk to a friend, you can write. The trouble is that we are trained in school to write with profound complexity -- The more sophisticated words you use, the more points you score. The more grammar mistakes you make, the less points you get.

Through the years, we get wired to writing scientifically as the 'way to writing good articles'. Conversely, the opposite is the truth. Simple grammatical mistakes like using a 'but' after a period punctuation mark proves to do more good than bad in reality. It catches attention and focuses the attention of the reader on what you are about to say.

In fact, research has shown that the best articles are those written in a conversational tone. Know why? Because one of the habits of a reader is that they sub-vocalize what they read in their mind. Even now as you're reading this article, I bet you're reading it aloud in your mind. That's sub-vocalization.

The more your article is written like a speech, the more effective and easier it will be for your readers to understand and absorb.

Challenge yourself to write just about the way you speak and you'll soon find that it's not that hard. You'll realize that what makes it harder to write at the speed of your speech is actually your typing speed.

Train your typing skills to suit your rate of speech. It's also acceptable to use a speech recognition program that translates what you say into a microphone, into text that appears on your word processor.

The only trick is then to train the computer to recognize the words you say and translate it into text quickly and accurately.
