Since childhood, we have only been emphasized on the reading aspect, while writing and speaking are not practiced well.
Writing is done to record information, document ideas, ideas or memories. Writing can also be done to express yourself and also for entertainment. Sometimes, when you want to write, we are always fooled by various things, starting from having no ideas or writing material, even to the point of confusion because there are so many things to write. Problems in starting the writing process can be solved by exploring ideas and making a written outline.
Inod shares tips and tricks to survive until the end of the story when we want to write, in the following explanation:
- Check the logic and sequence of the story
- Shop for writing materials by collecting data, people's stories, news related to ideas and outlines.
