8 Biggest Challenges Beginner Writers Face | Blog

Problems that bloggers often face
writing is a challenge

As a novice writer, there may be many problems that you will face while writing, ranging from the difficulty of finding the subject to be discussed, the difficulty of determining the title, the writing language that is still chaotic, the placement of punctuation marks, to sloppy literature.

This is what the author is feeling when writing this article. There are many things that are still lacking when making an article. If you look at all the articles on this blog, maybe some of the language used is difficult to understand, the literature is blurry and unclear from A suddenly to Z back again to A and so on. Sometimes it’s confusing to write a preface, even if there is an introduction, it’s often not connected, ohh my bad.

The articles written on this blog are mostly about tutorials, which is the main problem, basically every tutorial topic must be easily understood by all readers, after opening old articles and trying to reread every sentence and paragraph, it turns out that there are many submissions. which is difficult to understand, starting from the language etc. as has been conveyed above.

A few months ago, before this article was written, to reduce the number of errors at the time of writing, the author tried to find and contact other website writers who provide tutorials on good writing techniques, the point is that many discuss the science of writing, from about 18 authors who In contact, only 11 people reply to messages, but only 4 people want to be invited to share in depth, then a few more days in contact, all of them argue that they are busy. But that’s not a problem, because some of them have explained quite a bit, but it feels like something is still missing.

At that time the author began to realize, if it was just sharing without any direct correction of the results of the writing, it would be the same, there would be no change at all, in the end the author decided to make articles on several unusual platforms, the average content is people. who has been writing for decades and has published books, the platform discusses more specifically about wild photography, so each writer only focuses on discussing this topic. Ready or not, must be ready to be ridiculed, starting from the first article. I wrote this in English using Google Translite, then manually corrected it again, finally the article is ready to be published.

Boom….what happened, after 1 day of broadcast, one comment entered, after opening his profile, he who commented already has about thousands of articles and there are thousands of photos in his profile gallery. The article is entitled ” Wildlife Photography Catching The Animal “. There is something odd there, the problem is the article is a basic article that almost of them already understand the problem, and I conclude it is a subtle satire.

What are the most common problems that novice writers face?

This is all based on what the author of this blog feels:

  • It’s hard to compose sentences

This is the main obstacle for the admin of this blog when you want to convey something in writing that is easy to understand, usually when you want to write a post, the main thing that must be mastered is the stages from the beginning to the end of the discussion, for example “how to use soap properly” , mastery of the material is good, it’s just that to string sentences together so that they connect with each other feels quite difficult, there are dominant words, for example in the conjunction, that-that’s a conjunction without any variation.

Ideas don’t always come just like that, there needs to be a little exploration, whether to make something or just go around reading various other topics. Writing with perfunctory ideas will only end in vain, because it turns out that the topic written has no interest. What is meant here is looking for interesting topic ideas. As writers on platforms such as blogs, the most important thing we consider is “Writing that can bring in readers”, if you only write for yourself, anything can be written without any value that can be gleaned by readers other than yourself.

  • Tired of writing on a platform that’s just the same

On a blog, it might be less interesting if it is used to write short stories, novels, the main thing that smells of long and continuous stories, this is in my personal opinion, because once again, blogs are rarely used to write things like that, plus; special platforms for writing stories are scattered everywhere, the popularity of writing is certainly inferior to platforms that have been devoted to writing stories. Yes, like it or not, when you want to write a story, stop by a platform that is specifically for writing stories. If you want a discussion, go back to the discussion forum, and make articles that can be discussed.

  • Lack of mastery of punctuation

This is one of the things that makes visitors feel at home and understand what is being conveyed in writing, lack of mastery of punctuation, poor reader, this is like the reader is riding a motorcycle without brakes, when there is a bend in front, he can’t brake, keep going straight until it bursts and can’t do anything. This is what the admin often feels when rereading some of the writings, which should be understandable because of the results of their own writing, but are confused about what the five sentences mean or what this one means.

  • Literature chaotic “I like it”

Look at the article from beginning to end on this blog, there must be a part that should be placed in the introduction, suddenly appears before the closing sentence, this is what is called a miracle :D, appears suddenly without knowing its origin, usually often it says “not connected to go blog”.

  • Distracted “Ideas become BLANK”

When writing there are many people, or voices, movements, etc., one paragraph can last for hours, not to mention the many sentences that are not connected, especially when there are supernatural beings that pass by :D. It’s really difficult if for this one problem, the everyday language is “there is no medicine”. Both novice writers and even professional writers may feel the same way, but if anyone can concentrate on the conditions above, well, this is just a storm-resistant.

  • Boring language style

Most writers say that language style is a character that can be used as the hallmark of a writer. If on this blog, it is enough for readers to understand, thank you, but this will be used as motivation, so that in the future it will be better. There is a proverb that says “dare to be wrong is the beginning to be better”.

The reason for including this as one of the problems that are often experienced by novice writers; the name is also a beginner, there must be many weaknesses and mistakes, so from there haters must appear under the pretext of giving criticism, but using the words of a hater. This has become a common problem everywhere and anyone.

The point is that the problem that novice writers feel most often lies in points 1-7, for point 8 because it is too common, so it’s just a complement to this article, entitled 8 of the biggest challenges faced by novice writers.

In my personal opinion, what I think is effective in overcoming the problems above is to be brave enough to go in and write to places where there are professional or experienced writers. Write an article, then insert a sentence in the form of “please input and suggestions” or the like. That way, sooner or later we can understand where the mistakes are in what we write, thanks to the help and advice of experienced people. The point is don’t join a place that still embraces ancient culture “seniors are always right, seniors are wrong again in article one” :D, or “I was the first to eat salt, I can criticize you, but enter can’t criticize me, because I was the first eat salt” :D, stay away from something like this.

In general, seeking learning does not look at “who”, but “experience” (experience is meant according to the topic you want to learn and old age is not enough to control young people). That’s roughly the outline.
