Writing that matters

As what people have said, the spoken words reach thousands but written words last eternity. We have been taught to write since at early age as a way to deliver our message across. As an engineer and in particular doing research, we do have to try to articulate our research ideas so that our findings are shared among peers and validated. Writing is actually an art with its own nuance. Finding the perfect words will paint a beautiful picture like a painter selecting their brushes and the mixture of colors. As an engineer I have always wanted to be able to write good technical papers. So where do one start in order to achieve this vision.

Looking at the vast resources that is available in the web, what I can say is that in order to write here are some pointers so that we are able to conjure a meaningful writing that brings benefit to our targeted audience.

First, the concept of memory muscle, the more that a person is trained, the more well verse and skillful will he be in a subject. The same applies for writing, in order to write a good scientific article, practice is something that we have to pay attention to. I do remember the time when it is very difficult to actually deliver a presentation in front of a full audience. As time goes by, we are been programmed to learn and connects those neurons in our brain and generate the perfect synapses which actually been manifest as our personal skill.

Second is a junk in and junk out, you have to expand your reading horizon so that you have a wealth and depth of information at hand. The more you read about a certain subject, it will be much easier to spew out letter of wisdom and thought. So always spent time to explore and dwell deeper into your subject. The more you read, the better your brain in keeping meaningful information that can be used latter when you are writing about a certain subject. Trying picking up methods or style from other writers so that you can pickup new words and how to use them in your future writings.

The third, begins with the end in mind, a good writers should always be able to envision to the end of his or her story, the same thing applies in technical writing, you should already be able to visualize how do you want to bring your reader to the conclusion that you are going to make at the end of your writing. Organizing your thought by scribbling down the important facts and the arrangement that it will follow will help you to entice your reader to stick through the whole story that you have written for them.

So to recapitulate, in order to write perfectly start typing those word and start writing....
