If you hit this page, then you would like to improve the writing skills: the ability to easily create competent beautiful texts.

Most people have writing even a small text causes difficulties. These difficulties can be different. For example, one person lacks a banal desire and willpower to just sit down and start writing something. Another would like, but it is difficult to decide on the topic or choose the necessary words. The third can write a lot, but then notes that in his text a large number of errors.

All these problems are associated not so much with our congenital abilities, as with the knowledge and skills that parents, teachers and teachers instilled in us. Unfortunately, in schools and universities, it rarely present objects or lessons on which at least to some extent tells how to learn how to write correctly.

This course of online lessons has collected useful advice to help beginner writers.

Writing abilities in varying degrees are owned by all people who can write a handle or print on a computer. Naturally, each of these abilities are developed in varying degrees. But still not everyone is a writer. This writer is called a person who can write good text, interesting for readers.

If a person simply writes uninteresting and bad texts to anyone, such a type of writing is called graphomanism , and the authors themselves graphomans. Today on the Internet you can find many graphicomans. This is due to the fact that people are trying to make texts oriented not to readers, but on algorithms of search engines. In addition, the process of promoting the graphomanization provokes and the readers themselves (users). Remember when you read some article from the crust to the crust. Most likely, in most cases you simply view (scan) texts on the pages of the web sites "diagonally", trying to quickly find the information you need. And if there is no demand for good texts, then there is no suggestions that.

Quotes of writers about author's skills

In order to help you find creative inspiration, we have collected the quotes of successful well-known literary (and not only) leaders containing advice on combating various problems of writing:

Write freely and so quickly as you can, to spill everything on paper. Never right and do not rewrite until you put the point. Rewriting in the process is usually nothing more than a pretext in order not to move forward. It also prevents the free stream of thought and rhythm, which come only with the unconscious work with the material.

Our enemies can be more useful for us to be useful for our friends, for friends often forgive our weaknesses, while enemies usually celebrate them and attract our attention to them. Do not neglect the judgments of enemies.

It is necessary to write poems every day, just like a violinist or pianist must certainly have every day without skipping for several hours to play on your instrument. Otherwise, your talent will inevitably look at, dried, like a well, where the water does not take long time.

This writer is the same as the ancient prophet: he sees clearer than ordinary people.

People who know how to think, also know how to write. And those who suffer a low level of intelligence write the same memories, letters and speeches. The ability to write well is not a gift from nature. This can be studied. Write the same as you say: Naturally ... Try to express your thoughts simply, no complaints about excessive intellectuality ... If you work on something very important, then ask friends or colleagues to express your opinion about your work.

Writing activities

I sat at home and wrote. I wanted to write a novel from modern life and worked diligently for several months. One day I gathered and went to the tolerant - I wanted to see the nanny. In the tolets, I continued to write. I wrote in the afternoon, and in the evenings talked with a nanny. My friend viburnum in the tolerations was no longer. He left the estate shortly before the death of his father and, by rumors, came somewhere in the south of the actors.

Books, like people, have their own fate. The fate of what I wrote was not to appear on the light of God. I wrote for my life, but only two books were printed - one mentioned by me earlier, in French, the other - "Peter Basmanov and Marina Mnishek, two dramas from the history of the vague time"; I also transferred the first part of the "Faust" Goethe, who was also published. I wrote, because I wanted to occupation, this gave a feeling of joy and peace with me. But I never knew how to return to the already written - the fate of the written me was not interested. I believe that I myself have not lost anything nor society. My "Marina Mnishek" was not lucky. The drama seemed an interesting director of the imperial theaters I.A. Vsevolozhskoye, he suggested its theatrical Committee, Streptova was ready to take the role of Maria Mnishek in his benefit, but the theatrical censorship of choice did not approve. Why? Only Allah is known.

Comedy "Our August" was lucky even less. This play ridiculed our journalists, and I did not foresee any difficulties with her. Print it, however, was not allowed, and a censor, good-natured and elderly man named, if I'm not mistaken, Friedberg explained why. Czensors, according to his explanation, feared that the publication of this play would even more exacerbate their relations with journalists, which were so bad.

There was a strange story with the transfer of "Faust". Censor demanded to "soften" some places. I decided to talk with the censor of the St. Petersburg Cancer Committee personally. I mentioned that the two translations of the "Faust" were already published.

I know, he said. - But translators agreed to make changes to many places that could cause bewilderment from the reader.

I did not want to change anything.

Do I have the right to file a complaint to the Minister?

Complain anyone, - he said unexpectedly very rude. - Just do not interfere with me to work more. And believe me that the minister will not help you.

The historian Sergey Tatishchev was a person's person in the Higher Government Circles and, after hearing my story, advised me to talk to the main censor of Foktistov, offering me to imagine me. Agreed to meet at dinner in the English club in the nearest Saturday, when other members of the club were going there, believing that the focters would be there too.

Come on Saturday to the club, I asked the manager to leave a free space next to him, as I expected a friend. After some time, an unfamiliar Mr. walked to the table and wanted to sit down next. I said that the place is busy for Tatishchev.

He will not come, - quickly answered Mr. "I'm from him, he called him to Moscow where he leaves today in the evening."

Mr. Sel, and we started talking. I was annoying that Tatishchev could not come, and I asked Mr. He does not know what the fuoktists look like and in the club whether he.

Oh yes, I am completely familiar with him. Do you need it?

I told him about my case and with all the humor accessible to me, I described my conversation with a censor.

Yes, he said, to reach censors, as, however, it is sometimes impossible to reach all others. But I think your business can help.

He took out his business card and wrote several words on it. The unfamiliar MrOr turned out to be a foktistov.

The next day I hurried to the Censor, who met me very hostile and instead of a greeting said that he had no time for me. The expression of his face has changed as soon as I presented him with Foktistov's card. He called and entering the secretary ordered to issue papers allowing the publishing "Faust".

But the fate of one of my plays still pegs me. Perhaps, from everything I wrote, it was the only thing I really liked. In the play was depicted by Catherine Great, although, of course, did not appear in it as a valid face, since the censorship did not allow the censorship on the stage. I showed it four friends who served as theatrical censors to find out if it would be skipped. They liked the play, and they praised me, saying that she was not forbid her, but they did not miss the play.
