Dear steemians,
Writing is an activity to pour what we see, we hear, and we feel. Writing can have many positive effects for anyone who does it. Among them are sharing knowledge, managing emotions, making young people, adding friends and opening the door for sustenance.
Many people want to be writers, but are confused to start. Some have started but suddenly stagnate (stop) who sometimes do not know the cause. Some were desperate because none of their writings won the race and were not published even though they sent it many times. There are new people who can write when the atmosphere is quiet and moody. Many more problems that result in people who want to become writers only limited to want because of fears, despair and other complaints.
The following article describes the problem of writing and how to overcome it based on experience and other sources (reading, writing groups and writing seminars). Hopefully give encouragement to me and the readers of this paper.
Writing easy work for some people. Because it is considered easy for someone to underestimate and consider work in vain. Commensurate with that, there are those who read and write as little as possible. Though by reading and writing many benefits that can be obtained. There is an expression: Write then you will be known to the world and read then you will know the world. That is one of the benefits of reading and writing.
Even though writing is considered easy, when practiced there are not a few problems that come uninvited. The following is an explanation of some problems writing and how to overcome them.
There is no idea
The question often asked by friends in a question and answer session in the writing group or seminar is where did the idea come from? The idea of writing is actually in us, many around us. Can pass through reading, can pass watching, can pass hear and feel something. Stay, we want to write which one.
From what we see, we can write down the events we see on paper and choose what we think is easy to write. From what we read, we can take some new vocabulary that we can and can also develop ideas from reading to become a writing. From what we hear and we feel it might be written in poetry.
Don't Know What You Want to Write
When you first start writing, write whatever you have in mind in the form of writing you like. If you like to write short stories as short stories, like to write a diary, make a diary, like writing poetry as poetry and so on. That way we will avoid confusion about what will be written.
Confused Determining Writing Title
The title of the article is important to start writing. But when we are confused about determining the title of the writing, do not immediately stop writing and do not confuse yourself with constantly thinking about the title so that it does not write. To solve it, write down what we think until the writing is finished. Titles can be generated after writing.
Not confident with your own writing
When writing practice, especially for the first to write it usually often removes what is written, so that the writing is not finished. So that writing can be finished, make it a habit to write first until it's finished editing the shortcomings in our writing. Don't write while editing because it will make us never satisfied and the writing is not finished.
Don't Have a Writing Tool (Laptop)
Don't complain when you don't have a laptop to write. This complaint will make us never take action to write. Writing can be done on paper using a pencil or pen.
Sometimes senior writers and writers who already have laptops are still doing this activity. Solution to this problem, we can write to the internet cafe. Now there are many internet cafes everywhere. If you don't have money or internet cafe far from your place of residence you can overcome it by borrowing from friends who have laptops. If a friend doesn't want to lend, ask him to send us our writing.
Don't Know Where to Start Writing
This problem occurs because too many think because we are afraid that the results of our writing are bad, because we are too rigid with the rules of writing in terms of EYD, grammar and so on. EYD and so on are important but when you first write don't think too much. Just write. To fix it, we can edit it after we finish writing. So, we can write to the end.
No Writing Mood
When we are lazy to write we reason that we are not in the mood, we have to wait for the mood to write. To overcome this can be overcome by doing our hobbies while writing. Listening to music while writing is a habit when you are in a bad mood or singing while relieving stress. From listening to songs or singing can bring inspiration to writing. Another option when not in the mood to write or lazy to write, write about why lazy to write. It could be writing, right?
