Most magazines will direct you how to submit articles for evaluation.  If not, send it to the editor and ask for an evaluation.\n\nMake copies of your work and submit them to several magazines.  You do this until someone is willing to publish your work and pay you for it.  Each time you have something published it will make it easier for the next article.\n\nIf you are rejected, and the person makes ome comments about your writing, try to see it from their point of view.  The comments may make your articles better.\n\nBest of luck,\nJeffrey

I have the same problem as a writer.  I haven't totally gotten over it either, but here are a few suggestions:\n#1: If someone criticizes your work, remember that they're criticizing IT, not YOU.  Learning to distinguish yourself from what you do can really help.\n#2: If someone criticizes you, think about how much you really care about their opinion.  If they're just some random person, why do you care what they think?  If you care about them, but they're angry, they probably don't mean it.  \n#3: Take it in perspective.  Just because you can improve on something doesn't mean you're not a great person.\n#4: Tell the person how you feel.  Sometimes people don't mean to be as harsh as they are, or assume that you're not bothered.

not sure what u mean...\n\nmy suggestions would be short and concise (no one likes reading a novel to get a general idea)\n\nbe honest \n\nput best qualities first\n\nDONT misspell stuff (that just looks sloppy and shows u arent serious about the job)

I think you are asking how to write a precis?  To do a precis, you have to write a shortened version of the paragraph or essay, restating exactly what the author has written, but making it much shorter.  You almost need to sum up a paragraph in a sentence or two.\n\nFirst, read through the piece of writing and underline the key points.  Then think of shorter ways you could say the same thing.  Think of different words with the same meaning.   Make an outline of these main ideas.  Write sentences using the outline.  Count how many words you have.  For example, if there were about 500 words in the original piece, your precis should be no more than 100 words.  If it is too long, look at it again and make more changes.\n\nWriting a good precis takes lots of practice.  It is much more difficult to write clearly, precisely and succinctly than it is to say the same thing using 5 times as many words.\n\nThese sites should help you.

in the first paragraph, introduce the piece. make a brief statement about everything you will cover.include a thesis statment, or a sentence that sums up the whole piece. you should have at least 5 paragraphs. in the middle paragraphsm go over specific parts of what you are trying to say in great detail. example-if you are writing about a musical, you might have one paragraoph where you explain the plot, one for actors, one for songs, etc. in your conclusion, you should remind your reader of everything they learned and repeat the thesis in slightly different words.

i think you just need to want to make a good piece of writing. the best revision takes place after a period of not working on it, then you are more seperate from the pice and can take a more objective look at it.

So I said to the guy, "Here's what you have to do." \n\nAnd he responded, "What! Just tell me!?" \n\n"You have to start a new paragraph each time a different person speaks," I said. "Start each thing a person says with quotation marks, and end it with proper punctuation." \n\n"What's proper punctuation in this case?" he asked. \n\n"Well," said I, "it's a period or question mark at the end of a quotation if the sentence ends with the quotation or a comma if the sentence continues with more text." \n\n"Follow these rules," she bragged, "and use my writing as an example. I have been writing professionally for 20 years and guarantee that this is all accurate."

If your question is any indication, you are articulate and write very well. I think you're up to the challenge - and that's how you have to look at it - as a challenge.\n\nTry taking the topic and writing it on a blank sheet of paper.\nThen Google the topic.\nAround the topic title, write a few lines from 5 of the sites you visit. (Just a few key words). Then go away and leave it alone for half an hour.\nCome back to it, and see what you can put together.\nI'm a writer - it works for me most times I'm dumped with a subject I could care less about.\nGood luck!

this works every time..\n\nevery report has an intro, body and conclusion.\nfirst write the body, then the conclusion (just summarize everything u've said- nothing new), then the intro (explain what u are going to say and why)\n\nbecause u know what to write in the body, dont worry too much about a plan, just start writing as if it is a first draft..dont worry too much about its structure to begin with- you'll find that as u write it your draft will become the main piece, its just a matter of starting it.the rest will flow.... good luck

You could write one yourself.  Find a few websites on the subject, read them, and, then, in your own words, write down what you learned from your reading.\n\nA good way to start is to answer the questions who, what, when, where, how, how much, and why.  That should take up a page at least.

Sketch an outline, like three lines, one for each body paragraph.  They should be logically laid out, as in one thing should lead to the next. If you know the points you want to hit, you can write your paragraphs with a sensible direction and your transitions will be smoother because you know what you want to talk about next.  \n\nGood luck!

Restate the major points of the paper.  Then offer a final conclusion or recommendation based on those points.\n\nBest wishes and good luck.

I'm glad you asked. 1) While you read - you should be maintaining an outline of the facts on each chapter. 2) Make note of characters, characterization (little tidbits the author reveals, and the ones you find as you read) 3) Construct a story map and note how the story moves from the exposition-to the rising action-climax-falling action and then resolution. 4) Note what your thoughts are about each character, and how they relate.  After your review your outline, go back and read it. Now you should be able to draw an intro statement based on a number of things you have discovered about the storyline, characters, plot, theme, etc.  One or two items should stick out.  For example- if the protagonist (main character) is driving the story, then trace how he/she does that and how they effect the outcome.  A good summary to me is the student who evaluates many sides of the story from different perspectives. Make it brief, you don't want to reveal "all of the good stuff", but as the reader and writer - your outline should have more information so that if you need to return and do more essay writing, you have the facts with you. Good luck to you.  I love questions like these.  It challenges me as an English teacher.  You are welcome to email me directly if you have any further questions.

Read the texts that you have to write on. Then read it again. Underline the main points. Take out 3 to 5 ideas that you disagree with and 3-5 points that that you agree with. Thensit down and write. If it is posible, write down how these ideas apply "now and here".

1.  Figure out what topic you're writing on and what sort of information you'll need.\n\n2.  Find resources.  Try your school or local library, Google Scholar, and any online databases your school might subscribe to.\n\n3.  Read the relevant portions of the books and papers you've found, and take careful notes.  When you're taking notes, do not write in complete sentences and do not take phrasing from the book you are reading.  This will ensure that you don't wind up accidentally copying portions of the book into your paper.  Keep in mind that you generally don't have to read the entire book; you will often only need to read a few pages from a bunch of different books.\n\n4.  Make an outline.  Try to make it as detailed as possible, and try to include quotes from the book to support your points, as well as any relevant statistics.\n\n5.  Start writing.  Work from your outline as much as possible.\n\n6.  Edit, just like you would any other paper.  Read over your work, change things, read over it again, change more things, and so on.  Give it to a friend, parent, or teacher to read over and comment on, too, if you can.\n\n7.  Print it out and turn it in.
