One of the Biggest Mistakes that beginning Writers make!

Writing is great, but not all writing is presented in a great way.

This post is going to focus on one of the key mistakes that starting writers tend to make.

~Extravagant Words and Over-complexity~

One of the mistakes that new writers make; is complicating their writing. While a post may sound unique with so many large, exotic, or extravagant words; it also can backfire and become too complicated for the intended reader to even understand.

While it’s true that discovering new words and new ways to express something, is important; it’s also important that you know when to use them.

Simplicity leads to easy understanding, and is one of the most effective forms of writing.

If your reader can understand what you’ve written and does not need to re-read or research to get a better understanding of it; they are more likely to continue reading it.

Simplicity also helps to paint a better picture for those reading your content; if they can understand what’s written, they can easily get a better picture of the content.

Some of the best books in the world only are so, because they have readers of all levels and ages in mind.

Whether you are a seasoned writer, or a new writer, I urge you to keep it simple.

If you can get your ideas across and if it makes sense to almost everyone; then it’s a success~

To improve your simplicity but keep your writing interesting; work on discovering simple but powerful words.

Keep your word-usage to words that are popular, and well known.

Read various content that you consider well written and focus on modeling the way you write in the future, after what you’ve already read.

Focus on your grammar and how you structure your sentences. Always strive to find easier ways to express what you are trying to say.

There are endless ways to structure sentences; finding the best way to do so, is not always the easiest.
