We should prepare an outline of the article, which we want to write about. This will help bringing the concept of the article into sharper focus. This outline includes a heading, introduction, body and the conclusion. Always decide on the content of the article in advance. We should always compile a list of possible material for us to consult. This can include documents, reference book and people we talk to.

The introduction part introduces the problem you will be writing in your article or write a simple story that you encountered with the problem. The body will discuss all the methods of solution to the problem you encountered in the introduction. Break up each point into separate paragraphs and keep them to about 5-7 lines. You may want to create a sub-heading for each point. This makes it easier to read as most people will scan your article when reading it online. The language which we use should be simple and straight. The article should be written in such a way so that people finds it resourceful and at the same time can get benefit on the information from it. The conclusion part always summarizes the whole article in few lines, so that even if the reader doesn't read the whole article, it can at least get a concept of it by just reading the conclusion.

Most of the quality articles are written in informal style, like we would explain our situation to a friend. Don't worry too much about correcting mistakes or how it sounds. This may interrupt the flow of thoughts you want to write about. You can always correct them later. After finish writing your article, run it through a spell checker first, then read it through several times to check for spelling mistakes the spell checker may have missed and to correct the grammar and punctuation. You need to ensure it flows well by clearly identifying the problem, providing a solution method and concluding with an action step or steps. Get your friend else to read it over. Often they will find the mistakes that you missed.

It's not difficult to express ourselves through writing articles and it feels even more good when others like your work. So, keeping just small things in mind, like what you want to write, who you should write, using simple language and the other notes for writing the article, you can always start writing whenever you want.
