Did you ever notice that some people can write interesting articles and some people can write about the same subject and make it boring or even unreadable? Maybe you think you are someone who falls in the second category. But no, you are probably someone who just doesn’t know the technology – the rules of writing an interesting article.

Don’t get mired down in the English grammar, punctuation and spelling. Yes, we all should have learned this stuff in school, but in case you weren’t paying attention then, your word processing program will correct a lot of that stuff for you. You will still need to proof the article, but it’s much easier nowadays. If you can talk in a way that people can understand you, you can write an interesting article. And if you need more words so that you aren’t repeating yourself, try a right click in MS Word, then a click on synonyms on the menu that pops up.

So what makes one piece of writing interesting while another on the same subject is boring? This is what we will explore in the next few paragraphs.

Before you write the article you have to determine the purpose of the article. If you are vague about why you are writing, your article will be vague and uninteresting. For example, you could be writing an article about making a TV antenna from coat hangars. The purpose would be to explain in easy steps how to do that. If your article is about chelation therapy you must decide if the purpose is to introduce the subject to medical professionals or to explain it in simple terms so that everybody can understand it. (Chelation therapy is a medical procedure for ridding the body of heavy metals and other toxins.)

A way to make an article interesting is to state examples. See paragraph above for use of examples. People read those examples and think, “I get that!” Examples make your writing usable for the reader.

Another way to make your article real to your reader and thereby make it more interesting is use of words. Figure out whom you want or expect to read your article. Then figure out what words they would understand. If you want to use a term like “qualitative reasoning,” you must be writing for math and science professors. If you are writing for a high school science class, use “computer programs for robots” instead. (In this paragraph we states examples without saying we were stating examples. More interesting that repeating the phrase, “for example.”)

Short sentences and paragraphs are much easier to read than lengthy ones. If readers are in a hurry (and lots of people are these days) they will chose the shorter article, paragraph or sentence to read. Part of the purpose of writing is to get people to read it, so make it easy.
