Writing as said, may look simple but it goes deep than just the saying. Writing entails putting one's mind on a piece of paper and when one do that, it takes a lot of reasoning, thinking, innovative and many more. People find it difficult to assimilate in a noisy area so does writing. Writing in a noisy area can hinder one's thinking and innovative. Writing also takes a lot of sacrifices in terms of time spent in thinking before the writing process begins.
I base on various writings; content writing, personal writing, technical writing and many more. I've been in this field for years; more than four years now. Spending hours writing on people's demands has been a great thing for me and I love doing exactly that.
Communication skills in writing is also important so as to know the client's better. Formal speeches are used first while communicating with clients but then casual speeches can later come in for close relationship in order to know the mind of the client and also for easy flow of communication with the client.
Paying attention to details and being creative is another important skill in writing. Some clients demand are sometimes different from the other. You cannot decided to use the same principle you use on A for B. This is why most workers lose their clients. Paying attention to details tells the difference between what client A and client B requested. In addition, one won't go far without being creative. One has to be original , inventive and be visionary inspired to scape through. There are times improvisation will also be needed because one can't decide that since the materials needed are not ready, the work has to be postponed. No, that's recklessness on one's path and disappointment to the client. That's why creativity is also needed in writing.
Writing is not difficult, it only takes a lot of hard work and it's time consuming but you will earn big at the end of the day. That is, reaping one's fruit. Don't be scared to be a writer. Overcome your fears by starting from the scratch. You can decide to start writing about what you did in high school at your leisure, adventures and various things. Note that writing takes a lot of determination. Do not limit yourself. Set a goal and work towards the goal.
