Blogging tips from a Seasoned Blogger:

How would I know that I am a Seasoned Blogger and am entitled to give tips for blogging?  Anyway, I give it a try:

1.  Every learner here on EC with a desire to learn and improve English.  I receive continuously requests from the learner to tell them how to improve English.  I always advise them ‘to read more and more, as much as they could’.  It is a bit difficult to develop the zeal, but it is must.  By reading, the treasure of words (vocabulary) increases.

2.   Then I advise them to use the new words they come to know in sentences.  Use them again and again so that they memorize.

3.   With this stock of vocabulary (no matter how limited it is), try write paragraphs (short blog posts), and post them so that others/friends and members get access to them to read and make comments as well as advise the necessary correction.

4.   Read the blogs posted by other members.  We have a treasure of such bloggers, who are so good to be  good authors.  I read them all and learn from them.

5.   Observe the occurrences of events in your life, think upon them compile the thoughts and write about them.

6.   For the beginners just write without compiling or thinking upon them very much.  Just write, even if they are scattered thoughts.  The senior readers and teacher will help how to put them in sequence.

7.   If a story comes in mind.  Do not worry to make it in sequence in relations to the events.  Write what part of  the script comes first in your mind.  I remember once I wrote the end of the story first, then events occurrences without any consecutiveness, then I make the entire story in the sequence of the events.  It is like making of a movie.  Whatever the set is available the scene is filmed, then the editor combines them in a series of events according to the story.

8.   Make it a habit of proofreading of what has been written. 

I think above tips are helpful for the starters.
