Do you often wonder why your essays and precis look unimpressive?
Well, the answer is simple. You donโt know how to write correctly.
Writing is fun. And itโs the best way to explore yourself. In fact, the internet is full of content with articles and write-ups telling you to keep a journal, jotting down your ideas, writing blogs et cetera.
But writing is not everyoneโs cup of tea. Although one can improve a lot gradually with consistency and a lot of practice.
Since Iโve been through the process of writing and have written enough, Iโve got a pleasant experience. But like every writer, I have also struggled with writing.
In this article, I will discuss five common mistakes committed by new CSS aspirants and how to overcome those.

So far, Iโve found this to be the most common mistake.
Being a native English speaker doesnโt make anyone good at grammar.
Some of the coaches also stress upon focusing more on ideas than the language. I agree with them, albeit with a pinch of salt. I believe that the concept if not conveyed properly, will not bear any results. Therefore, language is fundamental, folks.
For this, you should consult any basic grammar books such as Oxford Practice Grammar by John Eastwood. This is my all-time favourite. Some people suggest Wren and Martinโs grammar book, but I donโt. It is too cluttered and old-fashioned.
If you want a more in-depth study, I would recommend Practical English Usage by Michael Swan.

Most new writers complain that they get the ideas but fail to put them to words. Sometimes they donโt know how to explain the concepts, and sometimes they fall short of words.
This happens because new writers do not outline their write up properly.
Outlining is also necessary to give a proper structure to your write up as well.
Start by mind-mapping or clustering, and then put your ideas on the paper in an outline format with the most critical and relevant coming first.

Not every topic is for all the people, nor you can generalise it for everyone. For instance, a science topic is mostly technical and is formal in tone. Similarly, a question of motivation should have a touch of inspiration.
Therefore, while writing anything, keep your audience as well as the nature of the topic in mind.
Ask yourself the purpose of your piece of writing. Whether you want to entertain or inform?
Is your audience technical or non-technical? Whether you want to engage or convince?
By asking these questions, youโd be able to understand the purpose and your audience for which you are writing.

People might come to read your write-ups once, but they wonโt get back if they donโt find any value in your write up.
To add value, you should come up with something new, something they havenโt already read anywhere else.
This comes with research. Before writing on any topic, it is necessary to do some research first. This will give you a clear idea about whatโs being written and discussed. Never get started without researching on the topic.
Many a time, it also inspires you to write more on it. You get an insight into other aspects on which no one else has written. Therefore, doing research is imperative.

When you first take up writing, your brain starts racing in different directions. You might write on history, or political affairs. After some time, you drift towards other areas such as technology or religion.
There is no harm in that. Try writing on as many topics as you want to.
But once you see yourself shine in a few areas, stick to them. Develop your expertise and up the ante.
But keeping yourself scattered wonโt lead you anywhere.
So here is a summary of 5 common mistakes:
1. ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ข๐๐ง. Grammar is the backbone of your write up, ideas make up the muscle.
2. ๐๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ผ๐๐๐น๐ถ๐ปe. Without an outline, your write up will have no proper structure.

4. ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐. Never start writing without taking up research. Itโs vital to make you stand out and inspire.
5. ๐ฆ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฟ๐ฒ. Find your strong areas and develop more on those fronts instead of scattering over and wasting energy.
Final Note: Keep practicing, keep writing, keep inspiring.
