While some students seem born with the gift of writing, others clam up at the thought of having to put their words on paper. Writing an essay can be a daunting task, but effectively stating your argument or point doesn’t have to be such a difficult process. Behind every good writer is a good research. Without having a good deal of knowledge about the topic, writing an essay will be challenging so do your homework in the form of research. Brainstorm before you start! Sometimes it helps to start jotting down thoughts and ideas before you start formally organizing them into cohesion. Pick your best idea and develop your thesis based on a concise statement that sums up where you are going with your writing and why. Next try outline your essay out with some organization and cohesion so you have a good map of your content and ideas. Lastly, sit down and write!
