How To Be A Good Writer

Welcome to Deepstash

Technical writing is a method of conveying technical knowledge to audiences by simplifying the topic. Technical writing isn't about how much a writer understands about a subject; it's about how engaging they can make it for their audience. It takes skill to convey information to the reader in a clear and succinct manner. Let's look at what you can do to master technical writing now that you've learned what it is.

<ol><li>Be in haste: Although, as earlier stated, you should endeavor to be consistent with your publishing. However, in a bid to meet the deadline you’ve set for yourself, you should not rush. Go over your work, take time to gather information, and do not publish unedited pieces. Switch roles: put yourself in the shoes of your readers and read your draft. If you were without any knowledge of that topic, does reading it help you in any way? If possible, you can even get a friend to read through it and critic it constructively.</li></ol>

The Don’ts of Technical Writing

2. Put pressure on yourself: You may find yourself comparing yourself and your writing to others; it is crucial to take it easy on yourself. As long as you make intentional efforts to get better, you will. Do not put unhealthy pressure on yourself.3. Do not plagiarize: is illegal as well as unethical. Stealing someone else's ideas and presenting them as your own is unethical, unprofessional, and unpleasant. I recommend using a plagiarism detector such as Duplichecker or Quetext.

4. Don't Assume: Assumption is the worst form of knowledge. Make sure you know everything there is to know about the topic you're writing about. If the procedure is documented (e.g, in an instruction manual or a how-to-XYZ article), it is critical to try it out or at the very least observe it. You may also seek advice from experts in that field if you have access to them. If you're going to state facts or figures, be sure they're from a trustworthy source and that they've been verified. Do not invent ‘facts.'

The response to this may vary depending on the field, and the list may be endless; nevertheless, I will provide a few that I feel cut across many occupations as a starting point, and they include: <ul><li>When I have a strong opinion on a topic. </li><li>When I need to reinforce something. </li><li>When I wish to learn a new skill. </li><li>When I've gained fresh knowledge. </li><li>When I want to learn more about anything in particular. </li><li>When I need to inquire about something. </li> </ul>

When should I write?

This is true for all types of writing; know who you're writing for. You can stress the unique characteristics of your product/solution that address specific complicated issues if you're writing for executives who are typically decision-makers with basic expertise, for example. However, if it's an instruction manual, you'll need to provide a list of instruction steps and fundamental language for the product's end-user. You may develop a character to help you understand your reader by guiding you through the fundamentals.

Know your audience

<ul><li>Who are your target audiences? </li><li>What are their requirements? </li><li>How will people access your content? </li><li>Why should people care about what you have to say? </li> </ul>

Pose the following questions to yourself:

“Simplification is the highest sophistication” , said Leonardo Da Vinci. When it comes to writing, this is especially true. It's advisable to avoid using industry jargon if your audience is unlikely to comprehend it. If a technical word is required, define it as plainly as possible. Some technical terminology or abbreviations, such as CSS (Cascading Styles Sheet), can't always be deciphered from context; make sure to define them ahead of time so your readers don't become confused.

Simplify your language

Michelangelo once stated, "Ancora imparo" which translates to "I'm constantly learning" . Writers should follow the same philosophy and concentrate on building a strong foundation.To gain a better understanding of the ‘what, why, and how' of the issue, improve your domain-specific expertise, do in-depth research, consult subject matter experts, or consult the back-end teams. You'll require various technical insights from other team members like solutions architects or technicians for every piece of content you create, such as how-to videos, product release papers, knowledge base articles

Never stop learning

Every game necessitates a strategy. Similarly, before you begin writing technical content, you must first construct an outline. Your text should be easy to browse for readers, flow logically, and be simple. An outline assists you in accomplishing this and provides a framework for your writing.

Make a game plan

A technical copy has a lot of technical information, which might make it difficult to understand. Structure your text in such a manner that it is readily scannable for individuals who want to skim it by using tables or charts. Maintain uniformity, divide your material into headings and subheaders, and provide enough white space for readers not to feel overwhelmed. Maintain a consistent format, font, and spacing throughout your document.

Create a structure

You'll often be discussing complicated subjects in technical writing. As a result, it's crucial to include a few examples to demonstrate how it pertains to the actual world. To make your ideas more accessible, consider introducing a couple of hypothetical scenarios or utilizing a metaphor or a tale.

Use examples

Ask your coworkers or clients for feedback by asking them the following questions:<ul><li>Did your writing assist them in any way?</li><li>Did they grasp the idea you were attempting to communicate?</li><li>Did your material come across as clear and concise?</li><li>Did your material assist them in finding answers to their questions?</li><li>Did they find anything in your writing that they didn't like?</li></ul>With this knowledge, you can determine what does not offer value to your content and whether there is a recurrent pattern that you usually ignore.

Seek and accept advice

“It only takes one piece of content to change your life, you just don’t know which one it’s going to be.” — Gary Vaynerchuck If you’re a DJ, all you need is one track. If you’re an author, you just need one book. If you’re a blogger, one article. If you’re a Youtuber, one video. The thing is, it will never happen if you stop before luck strikes.

Keep Creating Content, leave the rest to your audience

“I can 100% guarantee that if you, right now, decide to publish useful videos once or twice a week and do it for 2 years, your life will completely change. 2 years from now, you’ll send me a thank you email.&nbsp; The thing is, most of you watching right now won’t do it. Most people who start don’t stick around for 2 years.”

Do it now, and keep doing it consistently for 2 years

Why you need to keep creating content

Success as a writer depends almost entirely on having a critical mass of people who want to read what you write.A good general principle is not to try to sell anything (including writing a book) until you have 5000 regular readers. If that sounds like a lot, it should! Getting 5000 people to read your writing consistently isn’t easy—but it shows that you have something people are interested in. That’s why building your audience should be your priority.

Your Audience is Your Most Valuable Asset

Many writers obsess over their style when they haven’t produced enough to have one yet.One hundred essays is probably a good benchmark to hit before worrying about whether what you’re writing is good or not. Writing this much will also get you over your inhibitions about putting thought into text.

Emulate the writing you enjoy reading. There are two reasons for this:<ul><li>First, it’s next-to-impossible to write well in a style you don’t enjoy. A good piece to write is something you would choose to read.</li><li>Second, imitation can be a starting point for creative success.</li></ul>

 Write What You Like to Read

Two factors influence this insecurity.&nbsp;<ul><li>The first is that your taste inevitably outstrips your ability. You can always appreciate writing that is better, smarter, more thorough and incisive than your own. You get better as a writer—but improve even more as a reader. The confidence gap widens, even as your absolute abilities grow.</li><li>The second factor is that there is no end to mastery. You can always learn more about a topic.</li></ul>

 You May Never Feel “Smart Enough”

Success as a writer means navigating the ever-changing sea of systems, social media networks, and outlets people use to find success.&nbsp;While marketing alone won’t make you successful as a writer, it’s also true that an absence of this knowledge can be fatal.

Don’t Write Alone

Most writing will never be read by anyone. Of what remains, the vast majority will stay confined to the narrow corner of the internet they were birthed into.But a few pieces will travel widely. It only takes a few such pieces to build a career.

Look for Extreme Bets

It is rare to achieve success solely from writing.However, writing can be a good tool for leveraging other opportunities. Sometimes that means landing a more prestigious job, getting on a cool start-up, or just meeting cool people. Being an engineer, accountant, or manager who also writes well is a powerful combo.

What most people don’t realize is that it’s often not actually the writing that is difficult. It’s the thinking behind the writing. “Writing is thinking. To write well is to think clearly. That's why it's so hard." - David McCullough Writing is essentially a robust tool that enables us to clarify and communicate our thoughts. While writing, you are forcing yourself to think critically and exercise parts of your brain that are typically on auto-pilot.  As Einstein once said, “If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.”
