Write anything
OR
Walk away. Stop staring at the blank page; it'll only drive you mad.
Which one of the above would you choose if you were the one to come across such line which one would you chose the first one or the second one? If you choose the second one that simply you aren’t suitable for the writing field, hence in the writing arena you won’t succeed, since there lays no interest of yours in the same. Well if you choose the second one means you are interested and if guided properly you can write well. You just need inspiration. Both these pieces of advice have some merit. As a writer, you have to decide which one works best for you; the unfortunate aspect of writing is that probably, the same course of action won't produce the same result every time.
For writing the point that sticks your mind is regards generation of ideas. From where do I bring the ideas for writing?
It is said physical movement is a good way of generating ideas. To be a writer, you also need to be an actor, a counselor, a mediator, an empathizer and a visionary.
I like to brainstorm ideas on paper, though there are lots of pieces of software available – these might be useful if you want to develop an idea into a full article, as they allow you to move things around. Hence even you can do so if run out of ideas, just scribble anything and you will get something from nothing.
There are hundreds of ways to find ideas ready for the taking. If you write fiction, try using writing bursts or writing prompts. You could try picking two novels at random from your shelf, choosing a character from each one – and then combining those characters.
If you incorporate the following in your writing can make your writing impressive and of quality:

If you incorporate the following in your writing can make your writing impressive and of quality:
- Cut the boring parts
- Eliminate unnecessary words
- Have passion while writing
- Paint a picture in mind
- Keep it simple
- Do it because you love doing it
- Learn to thrive on criticism
- Write all the time
- Write what you know or what you want to know
- Be unique or unpredictable
- Avoid using we
- Parallelism is good
- Good writing is readable.
- When in doubt, look it up.
- Begin with one grain of sand.
- Give the who, what, when, where, and why.
- Step up to bat and take a few swings.
- Adopt a plain writing style.
- Keep it short.
- Give the reader a map.
- Be active.
- Cut unneeded words and prune windy phrases.
- Watch out for these four commonly misused words.
- Stress benefits, not features.
- Give your writing the conversation test.
- Kill unsightly adverbs: Some adverbs are fine, but usually they serve only to pad out a statement that doesn’t need padding.
- Justify yourself: Every point, statement, question, joke, even every word should have a reason to be in your piece; if it doesn’t, strike it.
- Be harsh — if a word or phrase does not add value to your writing, get rid of it.
- Cut, don’t add: We are almost always too wordy.
- While you may need to add a word or two while editing, for the most part you should be removing words.
- Concise writing is more powerful and easier to read than lengthy prose.
- Be careful not to break that bond by using jargon. These are the acronyms and terms specific to your field or industry. It’s especially dangerous because jargon may be a natural part of your language.
- Just about all subcultures use specific words as a shorthand. It makes it more efficient with your group. But it creates barriers between you and people outside your area. If you are explaining something to your readers, the chances are good they’re not going to understand your jargon.
- Be concise
- Write it as long as it needs to be
- Respect your reader’s time
- Taking the readers response as well as the feedback you need to know the area of interest of your readers so that you come to know about the subjects that draw your readers towards you rather to your writing, hence the feedback system should be in place that helps you as well your writing.
