I sometimes write articles for Associated Content. I usually use one of their suggestions for an article. I keep a journal. I make an outline. I do some research. Since you can actually make a little cash, I use that as a motivator( once in a while) I try and find subjects that I have an interest in. If I find the topic interesting, maybe others will too.

To keep up enthusiasm, you need to format the entire article first before writing. Collect ideas and plan on what the entire content will be before writing article. Sometimes, you may be more interested in writing and there may be occassions when ideas flow such as for the opening of paragraphs. Jot them down and join the dots to complete your article. Later, re-read and edit the article. This will reduce lot of readability errors. I would suggest one site for you to learn and practice with lots of suugestion from fellow writers. If you want to know more, just send me a message.

If you have trouble keeping your thoughts together, make an outline first and clarify what you want to say. Style of writing can make even a boring subject interesting, so try a few exclamation points (don't overdo it) and other ways to emphasize certain ideas or points. For instance: We went to the mall, where I found the shoes I'd been wanting. Jerry wasn't in good humor, so we didn't stay long. Or... We went to the mall where I found the shoes I'd been wanting! Jerry wasn't in good humor, though, so we didn't stay long. Read articles that interest you and pay attention to what the author has done to make it interesting. Keep writing. The more you write, the better you become and the easier it becomes.

Interest is a very good step to start with. Then you browse online for pointers on how to make a good and effective article.I use simple english only in my articles, cause i intend to cater not only to people who speaks fluent english but to those too that are not proficient but still can understand basic conversational english.Construction is very important, to complement the flow of thoughts in ur article. For topics, you must tackle those that interests you most,so that you won't have a hard time expressing yourself.And you can get a lot of assistance from browsing the internet. Good luck..
