Hi bunseng  

Being a good writer is not easy! It requires experience and pratice. We have to ensure whether our writing has any mistake or not. It's easy or difficult  to read, it's useful or useless (Does it leave any idea for the reader after reading?).

I think we have discussed this topic once and we ended up with reading (Reading makes good writing, so reader makes good writer.) I suggest that if you want to be a good wirter, you should strive to read as much as possible and copy/imitate the style of writing. Make sure you know how to make your writing attractive. For example, instead of students are from all over the world, you can write students are from all four corners of the world/students come from every country in the globe, etc. Instead of one book is on the table, you can say on the table lies one book.

Hi Bunseng,

I do agree with Kong. He's got right ideas for this. It's not easy to be a good writer, but nothing is impossible, you know. You can do it. Some important things which you should concentrate on are the meaning of your essay, grammatical structures and vocabulary. It's essential for you to read a lot in order to see the other writing styles. Anyway, before you want to develop your writing, you need to have a good command of vocabulary and grammar. Especially, good reading makes good writing.

Hey Bunseng and guys here,

As Somala and Kong (I don't know who kong is, but he may be Jupiter, Kounila? :roll: ) said, being a good writer requires you to have enough experiences and practices. These things are really important in writing. Anyways, realizing that the readers always prefer the writing in any way which is possible to be understood easily is a useful idea that you do have to keep thinking while you're writing. Furthermore, that writing must be an attractive one which you believe that the readers won't have a glance at other stuffs while reading.( This might be a difficult piont, but I do believe that it's not impossible to be reached. :wink: ). But please make sure that your writing is not with any mistakes of vocabulary. You have to notice this, the little mistake of vocabulary might get your writing go in a wrong way although it nearly gets the readers forget to breathe :!:  These are just some experiences I've gotten through.


Hope this will help you in your next writing.
More ideas will be welcome,
Prasoeur

Novel writing requires
* Technical Skill
- Creative Writings : poetic styles
- Inversion : Grammar of inversing sentences
- Passive : anyone dont know this?
- Narrative skills : To narrate specific places, events and people
- Wide knowledge of vocabulary RANGE : similar to what Jupiter explains, you have to know the synonyms, or opposites of a word. But not only that, even how to "speak" the sentence in various ways
- Setting : Describe about the story : Place, Characters, Events, Plot Summary
- Character Development Skill : How a character "changes" through series of events.

* Conceptual Skill
- Sense of Progression : Its a skill of how you "connect" a sequence to another sequence in both systematic or non-systematic way. Its like telling a story WHICH LEADS to another story.
- Morale Review : Imbue a morale value in your story
- Sense of Portray : Its a skill enable you, the writer, to impost specific "purpose" when CREATING a character. One character are "designated" for a remarkable reason. Make a comparison or base-knowledge for the origin of your characters.
- Sense of Mission : Its similar to "Sense of Portray", but for an event. You need to find a "specific purpose" for that event.
- Sense of Time : How you create your character, event, and story in accordance with the "time - period, era, occasion" you set.
- Psychology : A study to how your "minds" work
- Philosophy : Need explanation?
- Sense of Humor : Make your audience "laugh."
- Sense of Heart : Emotional Input to the story
- Sense of Culture : Create your own custom or tradition in the story.
- Sense of Realism : The most important sense.

* Control Skill
- The Cross Skill : how you combine those above "senses"
- Resolution/Output control : See whether your suggested solution is fitted
- Being-a-reader concept : Make yourself a reader, how much will you agree with "yourself"
- Eccentricity : Make something Unique of your story... such like "star war"
- Impact Evaluation : Think of what you write could cause controversy. Like is it suited to Jesus world, or will it hurts the Buddhists?
- Length Evaluation : Look at your writing, does the length of your writing is "proportional" to the story? DID YOU WASTE?
- Capacity Evaluation : Sometimes, a story doesn't need a thousand meaning. Hope you understand what I say.

AND FINALLY, THE Credit, Reference, foreword/Preface and History Writing Skill.

Here are some example, actually its not an example, just read it:

Well Well Well Denith... Thank for your tips in writing novel. It's very useful for me...
Even though writing a novel requires a lot of skills, but it can't turn my thought to give up my story... I'll keep my writing continued even it's gonna be suck or worse. hehe

[denith]

Okay, I must state something. To all the skills I listed, the most important one is the technical skills. You need to have all of them to start your novel.

The others can be applicable due to the story you are making. But make sure you have controlled your writing well.

I will try my best
