Now you are going to organize your writing. How are you going to do it and why is it very important to organize your writing?
An organized structure (along with a good writing software) leads to an easier time during the writing process. Problem is, some of us just don’t have the chops to work in an orderly and efficient manner. For many writers I know, flying by the seat of the pants is a default – one, in which, they struggle like a fish caught in a net to ever get over.
What benefits could you get in organizing your piece? It is very obvious that organizing your text can make your content run smoothly and you can work with it in a manageable way. Also note that, when you are going to organize the things that you need to do in writing, it saves you a lot of time from the writing process and narrowing down your ideas to editing and revising your text.
Without any preparations, you’ll end up staring blankly at the ceiling or in front of your empty wall. Worst, you’ll tend to run out of words and the time allotment that you need to accomplish will be prolonged because of this situation.
That’s the reason why other writers and beginners just can’t seem to cope up with their writing deadlines and if they do, they can’t seem to provide a well-written and interesting piece. If you wanted to have massive readers and if you
wanted to write your content at a lesser time, then organize your work.
Ever heard of the Five Boxes approach for writing organization? It’s one that I encourage everyone who are less-than-stellar at structured writing to embrace. While it probably won’t be as effective as outlining every piece, it’s a one-size-fits-all approach to organized writing that can work for a good many of the materials you try to put together.
If you haven’t heard it yet, check these Five Boxes techniques that will help you in writing your piece effectively. In the Five Boxes method, you arrange each piece into five linear boxes.
• The first box will contain the lead, which paints the image or detail that draws people into the story. Notice how this isn’t meant to introduce the subject; instead, it’s geared towards pulling attention.
• The second box contains a “nut graph,” a second lead of sorts, that sums up the details of the write-up, along with letting the readers know why it is a story.
• The third box now goes right into the subject. Begin it with a new detail (as opposed to transitioning from the lead and nut graph), particularly one that will fire off the rest of the discussion.
• The fourth box rounds out the rest of the story.
• The fifth box is the last of the document, containing the paper’s ending. Whether you close it out with an impactful “kicker” or with a quiet conclusion, the last part should offer a satisfactory ending.
