Today's question, should we learn to write? Writing is something that can be done even by people who have no formal educational background in the world of language or authorship. Although writing is possible for everyone, writing something that can capture the reader and embrace it in the world of writers cannot be done by everyone. So do you need to study? Necessary, unless you are a genius born with extraordinary linguistic talent.
Learning to write is not easy, my friend said. Writing requires more time, words are difficult to decompose, moods are not in the mood, work tools that do not exist (computers, laptops etc.) for minimal writing material, are a number of reasons that make some people avoid writing. But writing is a very fun activity if we can enjoy it well.
Writing is basically not just a matter of talent, but also involves a great intention and desire to learn to record our own history and thoughts.
Well ... For those of you who are interested and want to learn to write, you can follow the seven steps below:
- Choose a topic that you are good at

The key when we learn to write for the first time is to choose a topic that we are good at. For example, you like cooking. Write tips and recipes that you have tried at home. For those of you who like to read, you can write the latest book reviews that are interesting and useful. Do you like biking or hiking? Recommend your preferred hiking location in writing. Yes, writing things that we like or are smart will make us prefer to write. We became more excited because we poured our knowledge directly into writing.
- Write a writing framework

After choosing a topic, you can immediately write an outline of your writing. The writing framework is part of the planning for the implementation of your writing later. Write about what you want to write.
Example: You want to write about tourist attractions in Banyuwangi. In the first paragraph, you want to discuss the location of Banyuwangi and how many tourists visit there. Then in the second paragraph, you want to discuss about beach A. Keep going until the last paragraph of writing.
Writing a writing framework will help you a lot in remembering what you want to pour. You can also use a framework to collect data that will complement your writing later.
- Search data

Posting without data is the same as vegetables without salt. Without data, we will not be able to make credible writing. In fact, the information we provide will be read by many people. Now, if the data is incorrect, how about that? We can mislead readers with our writing. Therefore, data is one of the most important elements in writing.
There are two types of data that you can find to complete your writing. First is primary data. Primary data obtained directly from the source. To get primary data, of course you have to go through the interview process with the resource person. Second, namely secondary data. You can get secondary data from literature such as books, online journals, newspapers, magazines, or online media. Don't forget to write the body notes and bibliography if you take secondary data and include it in your writing. If your secondary data is in the form of images or photos, include the source of the image documentation along with the name of the site. Including sources will train you to become a professional writer.
Hopefully the discussion above you can understand and can be applied to yourself and the author. If there are mistakes, I'm sorry, because I'm just an ordinary writer who still has a lot to learn.
