Do you ever encounter writing with repetitions? It can be writing with words or ideas that are being placed in your content repeatedly whether or not you intentionally wrote it? To tell you honestly, writing with repetition is such a bad idea if you think it will make your writing a better one but the truth is, it wouldn�t even help you.
Sometimes, repetition happens every time you write a certain piece and then suddenly, you just can�t control the flow of words and ideas that keep on running out of your mind. Although it is better to get your mind working every time you write a given topic, it is also important that you should be aware about this issue.
Although there are times this situation can�t be avoided. As you keep on writing your topic down, you didn�t realize that certain words, phrases and even topics are being repeated on any parts of your content. Every writers had encountered that stage. There are writers who had manage to overcome it and there are those who seemed they just can�t.
You might think that eliminating repetition in your text is just an easy thing to do but if you ask some people who had a lot of experiences in writing, it is something that you need to focus your attention to since checking them all may seem hard especially for starters.
However, you don�t have to worry about it since there are ways to help you maximize your writing task and avoid these repetitions on the later part of your writing.
Some writing teachers like to expound on the value of repetition. Repeating ideas and keywords, after all, is one of way of ensuring your reader never forgets about them. On the flipside, however, their effect is not always positive.
The same word or phrase repeated too closely is distracting. Unless it�s being used for effect (such as emphasis or irony), it will usually leave the reader pausing, trying to recognize any significance to the repetition. Plus, it reads very awkwardly.
Have you seen web copy that tries to achieve unusually high keyword density? Yep, it reads like it was written by a second-language speaker with a whole three weeks of English learning in his arsenal. It sounds awful and ridiculous. Please stay away from that.
One problem is that doing a simple software-based grammar check will not identify this. For most types of composition tools, you�ll have to configure the program to watch out for style issues, which excess repetition is.
Similarly, repeating the same idea can feel tedious when you�re not adding anything new. The trick is to reinforce it by a secondary thought, rather than merely parroting for the sake of repetition. A five paragraph essay, for instance, with a single idea repeated over and over without putting any new arguments to the table will probably work better shaved down into a couple hundred words. You don�t have to repeat anything since you only have one thought. Just state that and end it � you�ll make more of an impact that way.
