Observe, Get Inspired and Start Writing:
According to the many writers, a good idea can come rolling in your mind at any time of the day. It could be when you are sitting in the waiting area, waiting for your turn, observing the environment around you, the hustle bustle, the different types of people, the colour of the walls, the smell or even the smallest details as someone's shoes can inspire you and ignite ideas in your head. The ideal way is to start writing it right away, instead of waiting to get home thinking you'd write it in peace and quiet. The first draft is always a rough one and you can give it a final layout later. What you can do is, simply write down the keywords, phrases or anything that comes to your mind. Top Authors follow this practice. Later when you read it, it will take you back to the moment and you can resume it from where you left.
The first Impression is the Last Impression:
You must have heard that a book is also judged by its cover. The cover here refers to not only creative use of graphics to attract people but also the use of words that can get people hooked on it. When writing any piece of writing, introduce it in the opening paragraph in such a way that it highlights the main aim or plot of the whole piece of writing, simultaneously making the readers want to keep reading. The Top Authors always give time to the opening and the ending lines because they leave a great impact on the readers.
Decide a tone and Stick to it:
Whether it’s a book or an article, a blog post or a description, before starting to write, you must analyze what type of tone should be used to convey your ideas. Once you develop a tone, stick to it. The reason is that readers will read in the rhythm that you offer to them. As an author, your tone will decide the genre of the writing and similarly, make the readers experience it with you. So it is one of the most important rules of writing revealed by the Top Authors. You must also have observed this pattern in the books written by Top Authors.
