The world’s endangered writing system and writers…..A Glance!

October 20th 2009, was celebrated as the first National Day on writing. It was celebrated to recognize how important writing is to their lives; it tried to draw attention to the remarkable variety of writing that we writers are engaged in. According to the reports The National Day on writing celebrated the foundational place of writing in US, it pointed out the importance of writing instruction and practice at every grade level. It recognized the scope of and range of writing done by the American people and others and honored the use of full range of media composing. The idea behind the celebration of National Day on writing was basically to encourage writers and to give them a ray of hope that they were loosing, to bring them under one roof so that they can share their experience and learn from each other. The celebration done was different in every organization and it helped the writers to improve their writing skills. It also created a common forum for discussion on various topics; it helped out those who are looking forward to take their career as a writer. Many events were organized on the National Day of writing which involved huge number of students and with their participation the students discovered new skills of writing. It is commonly said that a “Pen is mightier that Sword” and what a pen can do a sword may never be able to do. A writer is more dangerous than a soldier, a soldier might kill you but a writer kills your thoughts, dreams, aspiration and fill in them with his. National Day celebration kept emphasis on this and said that since the pen is used to express ideas it creates more influence on the life of the people and thus writing should be respected and honored.

A Place of Inspiration…….for the one who write

Being a writer myself I can state clearly the mind of a writer. A writer makes its mind and soul to unite so that together they can bring words, the word dances to the music of heart of writers, the pen he holds becomes the golden light of hope an inspiration. The light rises from its spirit, his dreams and thoughts. They take shape of words the golden words that inspires the world from their dismay and depression. The one who write can’t sleep, rest in the fear that as there is so much in their head it might get lost or washed off while dreaming. All they need is a pen and a paper to fuel their emotions so that the thoughts wondering in their mind gets a place to rest. Today writing has become an important professional as most of the companies are too busy to write about themselves so they outsource writers for their content development. When I entered the field of content writing, in the beginning I felt I have opted a wrong choice but later when it took a start I started enjoying my work. It gave me the freedom from the manual job. I could express the thoughts and the feeling that wandered in my mind. It not only allowed me to express my knowledge and creativity but also helped me in learning new facts and figures, I came to know about many such topics that were not in knowledge and they were highly interesting. Content writing can be said to be a collaborative, iterative process that overlaps with creativity, technical and knowledge. Researching content, developing it then writing a new content or rewriting/editing the existing content that is appropriate for the interactive media and adds values to its reader is the basic work of a content writer. The content writers ensure that the content developed by them meets best practice web development and usability standards. With the passing of the day content writing is becoming important and is inspiring people through their writings.

PROBLEM OF FRAUD IN CONTENT WRITING

Even though content writing has become quite a trend recently not only in India but all across the world, there seems to remain a deep problem regarding reliability in the job. There are a lot of young people who are willing to give their time to content writing companies in order to earn some quick cash. However the problem arises when a writer has to be convinced about the employer not being a fraud. In usual cases, a whole bunch of assignments is shelled out to a writer with a promise to pay once the assignment is over. While most deals are successfully completed, many a times, writers are let down when the pay never seems to be made.
Due to this lack of trust between employer and employee, content writers get rigid and bring about conditions which are sometimes accepted at the other end and sometimes not. These conditions vary from demanding weekly pays to daily assignments and while some content writing companies understand the problem many do not want to flex according to the problems of the writer. Plagiarizing in content writing is yet another problem that has now become easy to detect, thanks to the many free soft wares and sites available to all in order to check if a piece of work has been directly lifted from another source or altered significantly so as to pass off as an original write up. In normal cases, three consecutive words in a line that are kept unaltered do not pass these copyright checks.
While the problem of fraud is prevalent is rampant in the case of content writing, it is not impossible to do away with. Sincerity is the key. While a writer should concentrate on giving quality work to his employer in order to generate maximum profits, an employer should be loyal and moral in order to cater to the needs of the writers. With a basic bond of understanding, such problems of trust and faith can be easily done away with.

IMPORTANCE OF CONTENT WRITING IN INDIA

Content writing has become one of the most sought after jobs not only in India but all over the world. And the most amazing piece of information is that majority of content writing work is outsourced to India. Even though the term content writing has been used over and over again, there are many who are still blind to what exactly content writing offers. In simplistic terms, when you write for the web portal, it is referred to as content writing. Now even though that might not seem like a tough job to you, ironically it happens to exhaust one completely while he is at it. Content writing is not only a lucrative option for those who are pursuing a life in academics or homely activities, it is also well paying and gives you a feeling of self satisfaction as at the end of the day, you feel as consumed as a full time working professional does.
It is believed that content writing involves 90% research and 10% original writing thus one thing you definitely need to be good at for content writing is research. There are certain things other than research that you need to be good at to be a successful content writer. You need to be calm and relaxed even though you will constantly be needed to race in order to match deadlines. After that you need to ask yourself three basic questions before you begin to write a content – who your target reader is, why must they read your content and not another and what this written content can generate.
Content writing has become a great option for a job in India. It is such bloom that people from all over the world are outsourcing their content writing assignments to content writers in India. This is chiefly because Indian writers seem to have a great grasp over the language, outstanding vocabulary and a sincerity to meet deadlines.

MIND OF A CONTENT WRITER

Wordsworth said, “Poetry is the spontaneous flow of powerful emotions” while Coleridge stated that poetry stemmed from bursts of divine inspiration and no spontaneous flow recollected in tranquility. For all those who study literature or aim at being writers, these quotes last them through their lives; but for those who want to adapt to a more modern form of writing, a form of writing that cannot be put away in the shelves only to be discovered centuries later for the purpose of acceptance or rejection by half read critics, a form of writing that caters to immediate needs and instant pleasures, a form of writing that needs the writer to chase deadlines, ensure originality and look forward to payments, quotes such as those uttered by Wordsworth or Coleridge are best left read among books with yellow pages and then shut away in wooden shelves.

There are phases when matching up to deadlines and getting a great pay is what steers my new found obsession, content writing in the healthiest direction. I believe that vision with an incentive like I find in this case is a perfect job. But then again there are phases when my heart yearns to let my mind speak – the ideas, the thoughts, the creativity that are only found in me – not available on a web portal for all to copy paste and edit it like it never belonged to anybody in the first place.

There are times when I have been asked if I want to pursue content writing as a career in the future. While half my mind would readily grab the opportunity to cease quick money through writing which till the end of the day keeps my mind occupied, the other half and the whole of my heart would rather write to feel a sense of gratification, liberation and true joy – whether it brings along a remuneration or no is another story to tell.

Some traces of writing for the sake of writing and some times just for its love.

Just as America has the liking towards comedy its s equally inclined towards horror in all formats. Some writers there have always found some artifacts from the environment and have involved them into action. It has often made the audience wonder as how could some thing simple like that be involved in action made sound horrific. America has always found the wallpaper, plaster and dust etc as the eminent tools that have signaled the readers of the arrival of the supernatural being.

American writers have always drawn to writings from their historic struggles they have had to affirm the range of expression and to convey their authority and to legislate.
Some of the writer quarrels and some conversations between poets have been real and are abstract to a certain extent. These write ups have a good number of readership that is mainly because of their narrative styles these issues concern writers far less than keeping their writings alive in a culture of greed, a culture that doesn’t read much of anything, a culture that does business as usual in a time of Enron.

No one knows whether song was formed first or speech, or from the preserved mummy’s one can’t even guess whether humming or grunting formulated sounds. Its evident that human communication always was out there which must have come out asking for food, water or even calling for sex this must been communicated by some kind of action or some other format which we probably don’t know. Humans must have used words just like we do now. Writings now and cave paintings earlier have all been the true expressions of speech and have spoken the truth that can never be faded by time or any tide.

Inspiring America and others too.

An American is open to all type of jokes and comical activities and he is known to draw humor from every material he comes across and every American has the writer and his writing experience with him. Their writings are in a way inspiring and influential it has been so for many across the globe. Indians who have been living there have simply been successful in writing getting influenced by the American authors.

Writing doesn’t suit all but with the right kind of support inspiration every one can be a writer. The story of how Mr. Akhil Sharma became a writer is some thing similar to some of the Asian writers’ story. He draws Ernest Hemingway as a truly influential writer on reading his biography the writer is said to have made his dull and gloomy life into an interesting one by involving himself into writing which has made him successful and proud than he could have expected.

The story of a want to be computer engineer or a doctor totally changed his ambition and made him a writer. He writes exotically without being drowned in his own exotics he claims to have borrowed these styles from hemming way. Like Hemingway he has put in a great deal of effort to show the differences in his writing building the plot breaking the very idea of being fictional etc. And has always-treated writing as just like other writing and has never shown reactions to other forces.

Laugh and clap because the writing is all worth it.

Laugh and clap because the writing is all worth it.

Writing for a television is a different aspect and when it comes to entertaining the mass through a show is a challenging job. For example writing for a show which dictated news which was never had a future nor would have a past but the only intention being making the crowd laugh and clap needs tremendous amount of sense of humor and the pitching pulse of the audience.

The daily show is one such show hosted by Jon Stewart which has reached a new peak in television rating points in the recent years the success came along once Stewart took off as the host of the show. Stewart says he sees no journalistic approach towards the programme he’s been hosting perhaps the only issue in his mind is to entertain the masses and the mantra being anything but comedy. He also adds that while writing for such shows its essential one includes latest happenings as he absorbs certain items from the new papers and gives them catchy headlines.

Humor usually concerns Americans more than any thing else and some findings suggest that an American responds to comedy’s more than others. It is believed that an average American will find humor in every thing ranging from culture to education. This has nothing to do with his age and his or her peer group involvement. Theirs is also known as the common type humor like the slapstick and the physical type. so the two inseparables the Americans and their comedy are the best reasons as to why American comedy shows always top the chart and are welcomed every where else in the world. The only medicine that doctor prescribes for a long life.

Tips for content writing

Content writing has become one of the most smartest ways to earn money, but still however attractive the page layout of a website is, the first thing that matters is the content relevant to the topic or not. You find a lot of writers writing without the basic knowledge of how to content write here are a few steps that you could follow.
· Let your content be very simple, the person who uses the web for content has no knowledge about the topic he is searching; it would be easy for him to understand if the information is provided in a simple way.
· It becomes very essential that the first paragraph has a complete gist of what is available further down the article. There is lot of information that is available in the internet, the user is really impatient to read the entire article to search for the information what he requires .it becomes easy for him if it is provided in the first few lines
· Always have a target of readers in your mind, while writing your article just keep in mind for who you are writing it, if you land up writing too complicated content for a children’s website then there is no point of you providing the content.
· No one has the patience to read long lengthy paragraphs so divide your contents into small paragraphs.
· Always give catchy heading so that the user finds it interesting to read the content that is available.
· Try making use of pointers and bullets which makes it simpler for the reader to use the information.
· Do not forget to have keywords, so that when the user try’s searching information on the internet it becomes less painful for him to find the right content that he requires.

So what is Content Writing all about?

Content writer is someone who writes original stuff that can be posted on websites. Most of the writing revolves around marketing a product being manufactured by a company which would include providing details about the product. The basic aim of the content writers is to attract people to the websites by their unique style of writing. The greater the number of hits the website receives, greater would be the revenue earned by the websites!
Content writing provides many people the opportunity to earn extra income. Professors, students and educated housewives, to name a few, are the people who would be looking for this kind of opportunity. In this age of the internet, there are millions of websites that are desperately seeking the services of good content writers. Some cater to regional interests like a website that displays updated details of a particular location on a regular basis, while there are websites that have people from all over the world visiting it. Examples include a manufacturer who sells carpets and wants to advertise his products on a worldwide basis. Another example would be that of a perfume manufacturer who is also seeking international clients.
The content writing scene is buzzing with a lot of activity what with the emergence of the blog culture—which allows people to post their personal views on a particular topic. There have been many events of late that have evoked deep media interest, and people enjoy debating on such topics using blogs. So, these blogs register a lot of hits as long as the opinions aired by the individuals are engaging enough. As a case in point, in America, which has been crippled by the financial crisis, there are a lot of people who want themselves to be heard, and they make good use of their blogs for this purpose.

Who Should Choose Content Writing?

Students, housewives, professors, and retired people consider content writing as a good way to earn supplementary income. In general, anybody who has a knack for writing and aims to make it big in the field of writing sooner or later should look to get into this field. It provides them the opportunity to sharpen their skills of writing, while at the same time ensuring a good income.
I was someone who was in the dark about opportunities in this field for long. My country was going through recession, and there were hardly any jobs available. Then I came across an advertisement posted by a company which was looking for content writers. I was confident that I would make the cut, so I applied for the job and got selected. And now I’m raking in some moolah, though not much. The initial pay might disillusion anyone. However, if you choose to persist and settle down, you could easily be earning enough to lead a comfortable life.
But then, it also matters what kind of topics you get to write on. Fortunately, there is demand for writing in all areas, be it science, commerce or medicine, to name a few. Content writers can choose the topics that they are comfortable with and accept assignments on that basis. As long as there is unique appeal in the writings, they are bound to attract a large number of visitors.
Amongst content writers there are people who work full time and those who work part time. As mentioned before, people who are looking for some extra money in addition to that from the present job tend to take up content writing on a part time basis. Possible candidates to take this up on a full time basis include students who have nothing to do during their vacations, and housewives who are sitting empty.

Some More Things You Should Know about Content Writing

One might wonder what kind of topics can be expected in this field and in what way to exhibit it. This depends upon what is the requirement. The main agenda is to evince the interest of the public at large about a particular topic. So if you are assigned with the topic of swine flu, then you would be expected to first describe what this disease is and how it came into being. Since nations all over the world have been affected by the swine flu, international visitors would also visit the website. Next, the article should talk about the symptoms of the disease and how it is contracted from other people. Inclusion of several examples is always desirable. Next there should be a paragraph detailing the preventive measures to be employed so that one may not contract the disease; also, the kind of action to be taken when the disease has already been contracted. It should also be mentioned as to what kind of extra precautions pregnant women and children ought to take. Next, you should talk about the availability of medicines in the market to treat the disease. In the concluding part, you can include the kind of research being done by scientists to prevent the mutation of the virus causing this disease into different forms, and ideally the last statement would be something like, ‘With the practice of these measures it is hoped that swine flu would eradicated once and for all’.
There are some topics that would have a very restricted audience. For example, if the topic is the OJ Simpson trial, then naturally American citizens would have greater interest in knowing what all’s being happening at the trial. If a person is asked to write on the bushfires that ravaged Australia recently, naturally, more Australians would be interested in knowing about the details because the bushfires might be affecting their lives in some way or the other. However, there were some moments of this tragedy that touched people all over the world: The sight of a small koala being rescued by the firefighters!

Some of the Effective Tips to Find Writing Workshops

It becomes completely possible to survive as a writer. However, you need to upgrade yourself and writing workshops are the best tool to make you perfect in writing career.

Some of the writing workshops ask you to pay the tuition fees in advance whereas some others give priority to your attendance that means you can pay only to the classes that you attend. Make sure to avoid the unwanted class.

My Insights as a Writer into this Whole Business of Article Writing

Hi Reader,

I hope I’ve found you in a tranquil state of mind where you’ll have the endurance to read my ramblings and hopefully empathize with me too. Well then, here I go….

I began writing when I left my job and could not take up anything in the hiatus of pregnancy. Well, don’t most writers begin this way nowadays, somebody lost a job, another person dropped out of college, some other mother of two found about these really easy writing jobs that she could take up and earn decent bucks … and to be honest nothing wrong with these reasons! Except that, most people are unaware that writing, like any other job requires a certain degree of instinctive talent and some amount of training or expertise at the job. This is the primary reason that most writers, especially those from the so called ‘third world countries’ become a matter of joke for most of the writing community.

Writing as an article writer or text content provider may bring in a good income and I stand testimony to that - in merely five months, I progressed from being a struggler to becoming an established writer/content provider who has a steady income and some really nice clients. Time and the internet world have been kind to me, but I would not undervalue the importance of the most overlooked thing in this case – quality. Whether you are writing for your own blog or for commercial purposes or maybe providing services to clients who require content for their sites, usually the most important thing that can help you create your own niche here is the quality. In this particular scenario I define quality by – ‘writing good and writing correct’. Good writing means writing correct language and interesting thoughts and correct writing means writing what is required by the client or what adheres to the mood of the blog/site.

Another thought that comes in, is about the bottom-low rates that are offered to writers these days. Even this is attributed to ‘poor country writers’ who offer to work for such rates probably because ‘A dollar is a lot of money in their currency’.

Well, guess it’s time to take up the cudgels as well as the shovels into our hands. We need to fight tooth and nail against these embarrassingly low rates that article writers are offered as well as clean up our own acts. Ensuring that the writers are provided with some kinds of workshops and training to ensure that they are at least aware of the basics of the job and the current trend is a good idea. This will ensure that our writers will stand up and demand what is rightfully theirs and not scuffle for morsels handed over by greedy clients.
