7 lessons to the path of being a good writer

How to be a good writer? 7 lessons to change your career quickly. Being a good writer is directly related to the speed of your learning. To boost this process, these 7 tips are essential. After all, the better your content is, the more you can charge your customers. And, if you can produce quickly, more tasks can be done. In addition, for your good writing, you can refer to Cheap Custom Papers Adding these two things together, we have reached an important goal for every copywriter, reviewer or planner: To increase their income considerably. As we know, mastering the techniques of copywriting, blogs, SEO, etc. requires time and work. You need to practice every day. However, people always look for hacks and shortcuts to get there with less effort. And, contrary to what it seems, this is very cool. So, here are some tips to improve your content. Check out: 1. Basic knowledge never hurts Neither your customers nor your readers want a text of 1000, 2000 or 3000 words. This is just a way of pricing content. What they want is quality information, written in a simple and readable way. It makes no sense to have an explanation disproportionate to the complexity of a problem. After all, the size of a post correlates with its rankings, but it does not mean that it is a direct ranking factor. In other words, there is no point in filling sausage. This will only make the quality of text for the web worse. In content production, we have to cut out everything that is not essential. So, let’s recap the basic rules: Avoid paragraphs with more than 4 lines. Create sentences that have up to 25 words. Write intertitles with less than 300 words. Talk to your reader, don’t be formal. In other words, be objective and get to the point. Redundancy can kill your text entirely. Note the excerpt: “After already solidifying itself as a brand that values ​​positive self-image, this company sought excellence by doing a great job creating a favorable environment for its fans on social networks.” It can calmly be condensed into: “After gaining a positive image, this company started to attract more fans on social networks.” See how simple it is? As we said, remove everything that is not essential and write as if you were talking to the reader. 2. The more you write, the greater the value of your work Copywriters who write frequently are less insecure. The experience makes you feel in control of the situation and, to get there, you need to practice. In the beginning, it is quite normal to be insecure about deliveries, in addition to a greater expenditure of time to produce. So, if you’re not sure about the quality of your content or your deadlines, there’s a solution for that: writing. By practising, you condition your brain to deal more easily with problems that were previously difficult for you. The more you write, the more confident you will be in this job. Over time, you’ll learn to recognize what your customers need – and impress them for it. 3. Your audience and your competitors must be in your sights One of the quickest and most practical ways to write a good text is to perform a complete benchmarking. Make a list of the blogs you would like to post on and monitor what they do. Learn about your style, your favourite formats, and content production practices. How are your posts introductions? And the conclusions? Do they use a lot of images? What is the average word? What is the tone of the language? Here on the Community blog, we have already taught you a hack to monitor as many blogs as you want in real-time. And, to analyze your targets, this technique is perfect. Create your dashboard in Google Sheets and make all necessary comparisons. Whenever you find it interesting, access the contents and make a more in-depth study, always taking notes. This will help you understand what works, and how you define a style applied to the audience. That way, you’ll quickly get a lot of insights on how to create your style (in a way that your readers love!). 4. Reading is fuel for creativity In addition to writing, reading should be a daily practice, and you can do this in a variety of ways. The most important of these is to look for books and blogs on how to write. As well as national and international blogs, which have materials more focused on writing on the web. ABC Copywriting. Copy Hackers. Copyblogger. In addition to these, General Readings are also an excellent complement. News, fiction, literature, among others, will always be incredible sources of ideas, new words and to reinforce your spelling knowledge. 5. External opinions matter a lot Do you have any writing friends? Can you make contact with other professionals you admire? Write a play or show a publication of your own to these people. Ask for honest feedback on this, and try to make the most of the lessons from the responses you receive. This type of attitude is normal and, even if you are not answered, this is well regarded by the community of creative professionals. So, if the answers are far from what you expected, try again. 6. A professional review can change your life In addition to external feedback, look for review experts who can give you accurate feedback on your mistakes. Nothing will get you better than a professional review. It can be difficult to get that kind of help. First, because there are few professional reviewers (and they are hard to find), especially on the internet. Fortunately, this is changing little by little. Freelance platforms, such as Rock Content, have teams of reviewers who are responsible for evaluating all writing jobs that circulate there. Therefore, if you want to receive feedback from an expert, performing tasks on the Platform will ensure that you are always evaluated,

Medical Astrology by Dr. Deepak Singla

I come from the Doctors Family, who believes that astrology and health go hand in hand almost always, so reading Dr Deepak Singla’s Medical Astrology was such a pleasure. It was the book with which I could relate easily at many levels. This is a perfect first book to read about medical astrology and makes you think about how health and ill-health are in some way connected with stars. To those with previous knowledge of medical and astrological concepts, like the stars, houses and dimensions, as well as the signs of the zodiac, this turned out to be a very informative and engaging book. This book Medical Astrology by Dr. Deepak Singla, talks about your basic nature and how the Zodiac signs affect them. The author describes the main role of medical astrology as identifying the underlying astrodynamic patterns which connect mind and body, addressing the inherent problems of the exterior symptoms. Many diseases such as Diabetes, Respiratory, Heart, eyes and etc are explained in a very detailed way along with the rashis that rule that particular house. What I most liked about the book is that the author is not attempting to replace the medical team but rather is complementing them. The author describes how the process works– changing our relationship with our more difficult characteristics through awareness and alertness. What’s more, the narrative and language of the book Medical Astrology by Deepak Singla, are simple yet super engaging. This is a book you can keep coming back to every time you feel like.  This is a perfect book for people like me, who are always curious to know more about astrology and how it affects our health.

Master Your Money, Master Your Life by Abhishek Kumar⁣

I am always wary of reading books related to Money management as they keep on going about the age-old jargons of how not to spend money and invest more and etc. Truth to be told, these jargons don’t work anymore in today’s time, where money has considerably lost its value and life has become quite fast.

The Grand Master & Other Short Stories by Chinmaya Desai

It’s quite rare that I find a collection of short stories above average. Kudos to the author Chinmaya Desai for writing some of the finest short stories, of which some were really outstanding. Now I wonder, if I would be able to do justice to the book.  The Grand Master & other Short Stories is a collection of 17 stories. Tales such as Mathematician, Mother’s love, The Grandmaster, Who let the Dogs Out, The Woman in The Yellow Saree etc, taught me something and left me to mull over things, long after I had read them. It was like I was living among those characters and feeling their emotions as mine own. Amazing to see how a simple story can transform our perception. The narrative of each of the tale was lovely and very engaging. By using quirky, through imagery style of writing in individualistic prose the author enhanced the drawing strength of each of these tales. What I didn’t like about the book? A few stories in the book were very disappointing, but the good ones made it up for the disappointing ones. Language was used in the book was okayish. Bit of editing could have done wonders. Overall, it is a must read collection of short stories, which is a perfect light read and a best companion while travelling. I relate this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Interview of Supraajha Murali, author of the book Half a Moonstone
Book Reviews

Author interview of Supraajha Murali

How did you come up with this book? Anything particular that prompted you to write this book? The whole novel was based off one very vivid image of a man and a woman dueling, with half a moonstone embedded on the hilts of both their swords.I got the idea from watching a ring my friend wore every day. I had to do a lot of world building from that image as muse. Where do you get your information or ideas for your books? I come up with most of the ideas by visualizing the chapters all day. Since it’s in a historical time period, I check to make sure even the smallest of details are consistent with the setting. What makes this particular genre you are involved in so special? I come up with most of the ideas by visualizing the chapters all day. Since it’s in a historical time period, I check to make sure even the smallest of details are consistent with the setting. I have always been attracted to history and fantasy, most importantly Indian stories about palaces, kings and queens. Half A Moonstone is set in a completely fictional Kingdom with completely fictional characters, something pretty uncommon even among Indian fantasy/his-fic writers. I come up with most of the ideas by visualizing the chapters all day. Since it’s in a historical time period, I check to make sure even the smallest of details are consistent with the setting. If you could have been the original author of any book, what would it have been and why? Divergent. It is the most fascinating as well as technically sound book I’ve ever read. It continues to hold me spellbound. Do you aim to complete a set number of pages or words each day? Though I don’t write every single day, I try my best to write a chapter every 2-3 days to maintain consistency, as well as give myself enough time to think things through. What do you think was the greatest turning point of your life? I’m very passionate over dance, I’ve always wanted to dance and perform professionally. I had a major injury while dancing a few years ago. Though I managed to recover completely, it taught me a lot about priorities, my love for dance and life itself. When did you first consider yourself a writer? I’ve always been writing, I guess, even before I could spell the words right. I remember falling in love with words when I was all of nine years old. Being a “writer” is a very personal, intimate and happy feeling to me, which comes every single time I create. Often in life, it’s our greatest challenges that make or break us. What do you think is the determining factor between whether we grow by our adversity or are destroyed by it? Attitude. “Growth”, to me, doesn’t always equal “winning”. We grow when we fail, we grow when we succeed. I believe that with lots and lots of patience and persistence, even the worst of situations can be converted into learning experiences. Looking beyond emotions and into the valuable lessons each adversity or conquest teaches us, is what I believe is the key to growth. Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers? Don’t apply undue pressure on yourself. We shouldn’t push ourselves if we’re not naturally inclined towards writing at that moment. Maintaining consistency is important, yes, but forced creativity is simply counterproductive. We aren’t content churning machines. It’s okay to take it slow! Can you share with us something about the book that isn’t in the book? Most of the characters are parallels of each other. For example, Damayanthi and Pradhyuman are both under the same sort of pressure. Where Pradhyuman submits to the situation, Damayanthi rebels. There is so much more to the characters’ psychology than what readers see in the book. You can find her on my Social Media handles: Facebook : Supraajha Murali Instagram : @purpleearrings123

Review of the book The Leap by Nita Bajoria
Book Reviews

The Leap by Nita Bajoria

The Leap When you have a toddler around you, Kindle becomes your best friend as paper books are not safe at home. Thanks to Booxoul, it seems after ages I have read a paperback and it was a pleasant experience. As aptly mentioned by various studies around the world and Author Nita, Earth is no longer a suitable place for us or to be precise, way to mention that through our selfishness and greed, we are making this earth unsuitable for us. Thus, in this contemporary science fiction novel, few scientists decide that they need to search new home for humans that is Mars and the journey begins. Though this concept sounds familiar due to various Hollywood blockbuster movies, nevertheless author has ensured that there is far more than just a familiar concept. “Following the light of the sun, we left the old world” For colonizing on Mars few people are selected from various countries and each person has their own motive to be part of this project. This project is a dream come true for few people but for few it’s just an escape route from life complexities and terrible past. Under project The Red Planet, they have to leave this earth and set up a permanent home on Mars, no looking back is possible. However, before leaving earth they have to prepare themselves by simulation. The best part about this novel is that there is a background story for each character which makes them real and relatable for me. But at the same time, too many stories will be baffling for someone who does not finish a novel in a few days. As narration is very aesthetic, it is fun to read and each character story is defining a complex life of an individual. I was rooting for Michael who believed that ‘Life is a one-way ticket to death anyway’ but somehow in the second half his character was non-existent. There were a few times where the story seemed little stretched and predictable. Also, cover page design is not justifying this interesting novel. However, different backstories have made this novel as thoughtful gripping sci-fi creation. I would like to rate this book as 4 out of 5 and I will be looking forward to the next part.
