Miracle Of Writing Skills

 You can always have an option to edit a bad page but certainly, you cannot edit a blank page.”

― Jodi Picoult

Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until you turn on the faucet and let it flow. Writing is primarily based on one’s learning and intellect which will be judged by the readers. Writing skill enables us with communication and critical thinking skills, it also fosters our ability to explain and refine our ideas to others and ourselves. Writing skills are an extremely important part as it forms the foundation of written communication.

Let’s explore why it is of utmost importance these days to emphasize writing skills for children. With online schooling and exams comprising majorly of MCQ (multiple choice questions), it looks like children have almost forgotten the habit & discipline of writing.

Major reasons as a parent I feel my children should be good in written communication along with verbal public speaking etc.

Reason 1: Emotional Growth – Kids need to start writing early because writing helps to improve emotional growth, develop critical thinking skills, and improve school performance. Kids are also able to showcase their comprehension of super complex concepts with greater ease if they have practiced and mastered their writing skills and continued practicing good handwriting. You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing ordinary perhaps meaningless and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it.

Reason 2: Makes A “Good” Reader – Good writers are good readers. Writing gives a mechanism to voice our inner thoughts and allows us to share them. Writing enables children to master phonics, comprehension, mechanics, developing their voice or perspective, and communicating their perspective or vision to others in a convincing manner backed up with facts and actuals. Eventually, it could help them in technical writing for their thesis, book, or any advanced knowledge sharing.

Reason 3: Increases Analytical Skills – Writing helps to improve analytical or problem-solving skills. Regular writing & practicing will surely help students to become quicker at constructing sentences, conveying opinions precisely, and exploring tone of voice. These are all very useful skills for the workplace once they will grow and take up jobs etc. The first draft is as simple and easy as if you are telling yourself the story. It’s only between you and that writing piece that lets you analyze and connect.

Reason 4: Improves Communication & Understanding -Writing is important in everyday life be it school or college or corporate because it enhances your communication, boosts your idea sharing, opens multiple opportunities for you to earn or grow in your occupation and aspirations, promotes career development, appreciates others, expands skill sets, and simplifies evaluation. Writing skills are an important part of communication. Enhanced writing skills allow you to communicate your message with clarity and ease to a far larger audience than through face-to-face or telephone conversations. I work for a corporate and email writing & business writing are must-have skills for any employee to sustain in the organization.

Reason 5: Helps in creating Impact & Influence – Good writing needs to have a logical structure to make sense to a reader. Your ability to organize sentences and paragraphs in the most appealing & attractive way to influence how others perceive you and understand the point of your writing. The primary reason for writing anything is to begin your communication with others, to stimulate interest or action from the reader. You may also use writing to help you to reflect on your experiences, share and learn from them or guide others. When we write, therefore, we are either writing for ourselves to share our beliefs and experiences or we are writing for others who want to share their part of the story with the world.

Reason 6: Helps in Relaxing – Writing gives form to your ideas and gets them out of your head, freeing up bandwidth and preventing you from crashing or feeling demotivated. Writing important ideas down relieves you from the stress of losing your thoughts to time or an overcrowded mind. For me, writing is a form of meditation and helps me to vent out my anger, frustration, or pain, whatsoever on a piece of paper. Thus, making me calm and rejuvenating myself to conquer the world again. There could not be any greater pain than bearing an untold story inside you. So, just pick up a pen and start writing. Be it a student or grown-up adult, we all have our challenges, frustrations, or aspirations which we would not like to share with anyone, it’s always better to write them on paper or diary.

“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”

— Franz Kafka
