How to Write an Interesting Article

Do you think you can’t write? That is probably not the case. You are just unaware of the guidelines to follow to write an article that is interesting to readers. Sometimes you can read two different articles on the same subject and realize that one of them gets your attention while the other one is just plain boring, or worse, incomprehensible.

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.

The subject we will explore in the rest of this article is some of the reasons why one article attracts attention and is read by many people while another article on the same subject is ignored or puts people to sleep.

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.)

Another tip for writing an interesting article would be to give examples. Examples make it real for the reader. Examples elicit the “Oh, yeah, I get it now!” See paragraph above for use of examples.

Make the article real for your readers. If you are writing an article to be read by math or computer science professors you could say “qualitative reasoning” and they would probably know what you were talking about. But if you are writing for youth science class you better stick to phrases like “computer programs for robots.” Keep your language within the realm of the particular audience who will be reading it. (Note that this paragraph contains an example without saying, “for example.” Repeating that phrase can get boring.)

Shorter sentences, paragraphs and articles are easier to read, and therefore more likely to be read. Since your idea for writing the article is to get it read, keep sentences and paragraphs to a reasonable length, and if possible, the article itself.
