Spend 3 minutes writing the skeleton of your article


Any writer can tell you that they can start off writing one thing and then they end up with something completely off-track. Don’t worry, beginners, it is a very common problem with writers. To control this problem, what we do over here is to spend a few minutes researching the web for good content, write out in point form and then form a skeleton of the article.

The skeleton of the article will serve as a guide – like the railway tracks for a train, it keeps you from derailing and moving in the right direction.

It doesn’t take a lot of time to write out a skeleton, trust me. All it takes is a few minutes and you don’t have to spend too much time editing.

And oh, the editing process is the most hated exercise in the whole writing process.

By writing out a skeleton for your article, you know where you are going and what you are writing. When you are done with the article, you are left with a more-or-less intact one that requires little or not editing.

Some people ask, ‘Do you write the title first or write it last?’

There is no right or wrong answer but here’s what we, web content writers at www.contentmagician.com do. We…

  • start out with a title,

  • write the skeleton of the article,

  • write the article,

  • edit the article

  • and then we rewrite the title.

Five simple steps to writing an article easily. The same way we are doing for this article, anyway and it took us less than ten minutes to write this.

Suggestion: give it a try now. Find a topic…OK, let me help you jumpstart this. Start writing about what you did in the morning and why you did what you did.
