Words always play an important role in writing. Also, if you want your content to be successful, you should know how to choose the right words in writing.
Don�t you know that the way how you use your words can make your content successful or it can even destroy it without knowing why?
Of course, there were lots of writers who�ve been in this kind of point during their previous writing and now they know why certain newbie writers tend to have their writings rejected despite their efforts in finalizing it.
If you don�t want to waste your time doing bad quality contents, you should pay a closer look with your word use. See to it that you did the right thing instead of destroying your work without even realizing it.
Here�s a hint on what you are going to do so that you can revise your word use right from this very moment. Write because there are people who are going to read it. Be rational enough to think that you don�t even know who your readers are.
Therefore, you should have an instinct of writing where most of your readers can understand what you are trying to imply in your content. Now, do you realize what my point it?
Professionals tend to grow into the jargon and lingo of the industry they work with. While there�s nothing wrong with writing for the benefit of people in your field, it becomes a problem when you integrate the same esoteric language in your day-to-day writing.
These types of localized language are often replete with words that are either long-winded, abstruse or just downright nonsensical to outsiders. Again, it�s perfectly fine when used within your field. However, once you start incorporating the same when communicating with people who don�t drink the same Kool-Aid, you come across as not only ambiguous, but pretentious as well. Big words really aren�t cool � even your favorite writing software will say so.
When writing for a more general audience, it�s important to focus on �words that matter.� When we say this, we�re referring to specific terms that hold more meaning to people. And, oftentimes, the most expressive words are the ones that are the shortest.
Look at the most vital words in English and you�ll find that many of them range in five words or less:
1. Profanities. Insert your favorite four-letter slur here. Regardless of which one you chose, that�s likely to be plenty of impact for such a short construction.
2. Primary pronouns. Almost all primary pronouns fall in this range.
3. Yes and no. Yep, those two vital words are the best examples of brevity and clarity rolled into a short string of letters.
4. Emotion words. Short words like happy, sad, joy, pain, love and hate are extremely short, yet convey so much meaning.
The point is that, you should always look towards brevity and your choice in words matter in that regard. Most of the time, there�s an equally short way to express even the most convoluted ideas.
