What Can Make a Writer Unpopular?

Mistakes are made by anyone and most writers as well. If you are a true writer that makes a difference to your character in writing.

Every writer wants to be the perfect writer in showing off their work to the public. You require proper writing skills to communicate with your reader effectively.

Most people write in the way they speak as I do. You are taught to speak differently with a different accent, and as you get older you hold on to that.

My point, the way you speak is the way you write.

Some writers can make the most stupid errors such as the misuse of, ''they're and you're''

The simple misused words can drive your readers up the wall. You are trusted to deliver the best and to inform your readers of the most helpful information.

The silly errors can make any writer most unpopular.

When you are impatient to publish your work, such mistakes are bound to pop up. You type what you were taught not what you should have been taught.

I know that the English language is spoken in a different approach in America, and in the proper manner of the British spoken language.

For me, that is already two very different approaches.

If you are not an English speaker, you may not understand the actual meaning of most words and all tenses.

The pronunciation of certain words can be difficult. The act of identifying English words would also be an obstacle in many cases for new writers.

Even when the grammar is correct, you tend to use your words differently. This happens when you think in your native language.

I also make mistakes or errors in such words. I do speak the English language daily, and it is my first language. The way I was taught to speak is the way I write.

How can a writer become unpopular?

A writer may omit or leave out the serial comma.

What is a serial comma?

When you have a continuous sentence.

For example:

'' I had to buy milk, sugar, flour, and eggs.''

In using the serial comma your sentence makes more sense to your readers.

Sometimes a writer is not familiar with the correct use of the hyphen.

Words do not need to be hyphenated and yet you still choose to do that.

For some reason, writers feel the following words need a hyphen:

• Mainstream.
• Midweek.
• Nevertheless.
• Newsroom.
• Breathtaking.
• Recover.
• Overlooked.
• Passbook.
• Overstep.
• Miscarriage.
• Milestone.
• Midwife.
• Hyphenate words:
• Self-publish.
• Non-verbal.
• Less confident.
• Passer-by.
• Mischief-maker.
• Mind-bending.
• Mind-blowing.
• Medium-sized.
• Manic-depressive.
• Make-believe.
• Make-up.
• Low-down.

Hyphenated words used to show that the rest of the word is continued on the next line.

Another rule, I learned about is the hyphenated word; most writers do not know when not to use the hyphenated compound adjectival phrase.

Like, in a word such as this one ''mainly'' and even when the phrase is in front of the noun, for example, as in ex.

Do you get insulted when other writers talk down to you?

If a writer uses unrecognized words in an article will not that get you to feel less confident in your writing skills?

Writers write for pleasure, or to earn online. When a writer takes their work seriously, it should be most understandable to all readers.

Be fair and understanding about the way you produce that article.

Do not only think of your needs; also think of the needs of your readers. Avoid torturing the English language to make it most difficult to read.

What about the double spaces to separate sentences?

I discovered this one recently and had no idea it was effective in the old days with old typewriters. One space works well for me. You have to check your spaces before submitting articles.

Check your passive sentences. The Passive voice is formed when using ''be'' and the past participle of a verb. The subject of a Passive clause does not perform the action expressed by the verb but is affected by it.

For example:

''He's been murdered'' The verb is in the passive.

I found another mistake that can make a writer unpopular. The incorrect way of capitalizing titles and subtitles can be a downfall.

You will notice that not all the words are capitalized only the important words are capitalized it is the correct way.

Ever used underlining poorly?

It is not a good idea to form text with underlining. Your reader will get different feedback from your work.

It would look like you have a dead link in your book or article. Writers can be inconsistent.

Make sure, every detail is in place and all information gives your reader the correct idea of your article or book.

Have a form of structure in writing. Still, most writers tend to overuse adjectives.

Be precise. You cannot over-describe objects or people. The lack of guidance can make a writer go the wrong way. Use subheadings if needed. A long paragraph can look boring and not so professional. Effective reading is a help to all writers.

I do not look at my work as perfect and do not expect perfection from any writer. If you want to be popular you have to take the time and make the effort to deliver your best work.

When you choose to be heard and popular with hard work you can make that possible. Writing is not always what you want it to be but with more reading, you can be successful.

Writing may not be for everyone as it is a slow process of earning a substantial income.

I find that writing works well for me and if you do not try you will never know what works best for you. I found out writing worked best for me after I had moved to a foreign country.

I opened my mind to another life and had to go in a different direction. I did not plan to write online or traditionally.

Writing came into my life to keep the English language as part of me always. It is easy to lose one language when focusing on another.

The Croatian language is not my native language, so speaking the language at home was not on my agenda. My focus stayed on what I knew best.

Beginners will find this hub most useful. I enjoy writing and sharing my thoughts online. To be that famous writer keep on writing and sharing your work.

Expand on small projects and see how far you can go with your writing skills. Never give up on what you best enjoy. You do not have to write every word perfectly when you begin writing, you can learn as you go along.

Most writers do not get it right from the beginning. Do not be too precious about your writing, show improvement in daily practices.

Writing is a waiting game because you always wait to see your results. To climb up the ladder in writing you must read and write daily.

Advice to all writers:

• To be a good writer, continue writing, and when you do not write to publish online save those thoughts on paper for next time.
• Ignore what others have to say and continue getting your word out there.
• Write about pain, about pleasure wherever your writing takes you, write about it.
