I'll explain how I write. One of them has to do with attention-getting strategies. Strange? In fact, grabbing the reader's attention is a necessary part of writing. The objective is for readers to finish our writing up to the final sentence. What then are the advice? Are there any tricks we can use to catch the reader's interest and persuade them to read our writing for a few minutes?
I've stressed that a person's creative process is unique ever since I started sharing writing advice on this page. Therefore, what I am about to say might not be appropriate for other writers' friends. Not forcing you to go my way is not my intention. Reading about other people's creative experiences makes learning more enjoyable.
Okay! I always picture talking to someone when I write (the reader). So, we must divert his attention in order for the unobservable interlocutor to continue reading. In the context of writing, science attracts attention; that's fine. There are a few things we need to do to get the reader's attention. I'll remind you once more that these guidelines only apply to common article writing styles. Of course, other kinds need a different approach.
Articles of the intimate variety, or the communication term, are, in my opinion, popular. How come? Without any internal distance, the writer and reader should feel extremely close. As a result, read as if you and the author are old friends. If that were to occur, that would be fantastic. What indicators should we watch out for? Pay close attention to your article's title first. The face is the title. 50% of the title is successful. The title gives readers their first impression of both the writing and the author. Make up a less common or unusual string of words for the title. It must nevertheless adhere to Indonesian grammar conventions.
Unusual titles, for instance, run counter to what most people believe about the topics we will write about. Alternately, use a string of ironic phrases. Pay attention to the rhyme (poetry term) in the title. Consider the possibility of titling our article "Corruption in a Dirty Country" when we write about corruption. I find it to be quite fascinating. As a result, it's typical to find strange and intriguing sentence combinations to create a title.
Second, refrain from retelling or writing the chronology of already well-known issues in the introduction. We'll discuss the effects of online learning during a pandemic, for instance. Avoid repeating information in the first paragraph, such as "why online," "what is online learning," "the dangers of Covid-19," and similar topics. All of the problems are already clear to the reader. Now! Positioning ourselves (or our ideas) slightly against accepted wisdom. This will demonstrate the distinction and mischief of our viewpoint when examining the phenomena that are taking place.
Remember that this is based on my experience; readers enjoy content that deviates from the norm. Nothing is wrong; we merely carry out the reader's wishes. In the opening sentence of this article, I provided an illustration. In my own way, I strive to sound as familiar to my readers as possible. Sometimes this feeling of distance also piques your interest, causing you to keep scanning for the next phrase (hopefully). The reader's desire is then completely subverted in the next step. In other words, reading writing advice is only meant to be used as a guide. Naturally, the reader will read more of this article if he is curious.
Third, disrupt the reader's internal hierarchy. Now! I'm a bad teacher. Don't think negatively. I refer to dissecting the reader's reasoning in relation to the logic we employ or the viewpoint from which we view the writing's central idea. This relates to putting an end to the reader's boredom. To be completely honest, I find it boring to read writing that lacks a logical beat that is reflected in the sentence structure, or writing that is "slab," or flat. Wow! How about that? If while reading it seems as though there is a sense of empathy for our theme or delivery method, readers will feel as though their attention has been stealthily diverted.
Due to its association with the concept of feelings, the third sign can be a little challenging to explain. that it should be possible for us to affect the reader's thoughts or feelings through our writing. If that occurs, most people will read our writing all the way through. Perhaps you are reading this paragraph of my article right now. Hehe..
That's all, hopefully it was helpful.
I appreciate your time and consideration.
