I am sure that there would have been a moment in your life when you would thought of writing a poem, an article or a book. You may have not written so far BUT YOU CAN.
By writing an article, a book or alike, you bring your knowledge, experience, thoughts and ideas into words. In return, you get fame and money sometimes but the biggest SATISFACTION comes when people benefit from your knowledge and thoughts.
If above sentences motivate you enough then you have inclination towards writing. Keep it up and start writing. You may think that you are not trained for this but infact you are. In school, you were asked to write 5 or 10 sentences on particular object or event. Later, this graded to writing essays. And in college, you may have written technical or project reports. So, if you can do at that time then you can write this time also and definitely, in a better way.
As far as topic of writing is concerned, so you can write on anything. You can write on 'what you feel about life', 'how you handled a particular situation', 'Any suggestions on organizing oneself', 'Any tips for new parents' and this list goes on. If you are a techie person then you can write on hot buzz in your industry like if you are an IT guy then you can write on 'wireless networks', 'RFID', etc.
Once you have written, comes the need of publishing it. You can contribute your writings in your local newspapers and magazines. If it's a book then contact a publisher with a sample copy of your writing. But, the latest trend is EZINES and EBOOKS. It is a very fast and cost-effective way of publishing your writings. Also, if you publish it in e-zine or e-book then you have large reader base across the world. Infact, I got my first article "10 ways of learning a software" published in EZINEARTICLES (www.ezinearticles.com). It is a nice and popular website for publishing your articles on various topics.
As you write more and more articles, your vocabulary and command over grammar will increase. Your way of expressing your knowledge and thoughts will get polished. The writing style can be further improved by the reading the work of others. And sooner or later, you will fall in love with WRITING.
So, all the best of your article endeavor and I hope to read article written by you soon. If my writing really helps you in writing then please drop a mail at zainvi.sf@gmail.com (Remember, SATISFACTION that comes if readers are benefited...)
