Interested To Be Writer, But Don't Know How To Go About It by Clark2205(m): 12:33am On Sep 16, 2021 |
Hi, Endurance by name Am not really happy with myself as a man, and it took me sometime to realize this, before I go further, I will love to quickly disclose little about educational background. I graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas College in Akure and further education in Rufus Giwa Polytechnic Owo Ondo State studying food science and technology. Am a kinda guy that don't really take things seriously, I knew I have to manage my career and build myself by learning new skills but most skills I know of don't really caught my interest. After finishing my National Diploma in Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, I decided to stay back and help students with their projects, seminar write up, assignments, photocopy and others (man got to survive) but that's not the main reason I decided to start this work. Yes, I am seeing my daily bread doing this job as well as sorting some bills and sending to families and friends, but I still feel empty, I knew one thing was missing out, I was doing well at my place of work helping students especially in my field of study with their write up, but I was not helping myself developing the skills I really wanted so badly “writing”. My schedules are so tight helping students with their works, I barely have time for my self talk less of helping myself developing my writing skills. I know vividly well that I can do this, but I need a helping hand. Someone with good heart and good writing skills that can help me and safe guild my fragile writing mind to acquire more understanding in the writing world. I don't mind if anyone can give me a topic to write on, and after done writing, he/she can also help me proofread, and tell me where I need to work on. Plz, this really mean a lot to me. Thank You and God bless |

My brother , the secret to good writing is reading extensively. Once you can do this , even Shakespeare would cut cap for you . But here are two books I'll strongly recommend to help you on your journey: The Elements of Style by William Strunk & Everybody Writes by Anna Handley . Farewell ! |
