Here you go again, facing in front of your computer screen and not a single word was fund in front of the word processor for you next writing task. This is most likely to happen especially if you don�t have any idea how to get the topic working. It really feels frustrating and at the same time, you feel like you are being pressured just because you have a writing deadline to meet.
However, as your time is running out so as the presence of writer�s block appears inside your head. No wonder why you can�t finish your work right away and if you start typing your ideas down, you erase it all and redo the sentences or even type in another thought yet you end up erasing up again from the very start.
This kind of a situation is really annoying and you consume most of your time doing nothing at all. Most writers feel the same way too. It is really hard to write if your mind is not working well and you can�t think of a possible idea that can contribute to the subject that you are going to write. But why does some writers manage to conquer this problem? It�s because they�ve found a way on how to prevent this writing problem by doing simple steps to write effectively and successfully within a short period of time.
Sometimes, the best way to write something is to not write it. Instead, the right approach may be to simply copy and paste it from stuff you�ve previously written.
Frequently-used material you can insert over and over are called boilerplate paragraphs. A practice that originated in newspapers, it�s one of the most useful tricks to cut down on writing time. Not only does it let you skip rewriting something you�ve done before, it allows you to skip subjecting it to both editing and bouts with your English proofreading software.
Of course, not all types of writing can prove worthy of being in your boilerplate folder. However, you might be surprised that a lot of regular stuff you draw up from scratch can benefit from their use. These materials, for instance, can be produced very efficiently using a boilerplate approach:
1. Proposals. Chances are, you�ll be using boilerplates for format and structure, instead of fully-formed paragraphs. Doesn�t make it any less useful, though.
2. Press Releases. Almost half of all press releases consist of repetitive stuff about the companies involved. Boilerplates save you from having to rewrite all that.
3. Bylines. Anyone will, pretty much, use certain variations of their author bylines in every piece, so might as well boilerplate it.
4. Memos. Most memos are written in a formatted, corporate-friendly format, which lends itself well to being se up on a boilerplate.
5. Lab reports and progress reports. Again, this is mostly a �fill in the blanks� type of document that you can reuse over and over.
Obviously, there are many more examples of materials that can be served rather well by a boilerplate. Take an inventory of the stuff you write and see how it can serve you.
