Write confidently
from On Writing Well: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction by William Zinsser
How to Apply This
-
Focus on subjects you are passionate about.
You will excel when you write about those areas or subjects you enjoy. -
Keep yourself interested.
Continue to learn and educate yourself on the subjects you enjoy writing about. Read books, articles, or watch TV shows. -
Conduct research on the things you are interested in writing about.
When you conduct research by yourself, you will write confidently about the results of your findings. -
Think broadly about your assignment.
Push the boundaries of your subject and see where it takes you to. For example, you could include some recipes in a book about healthy living. -
Let your intentions be clear.
What is the goal of your piece - is it to affirm, celebrate, debunk or destroy?
