Blog posts, this is how I write them - structure, editing points, etc.

2. Simplify by "cutting" + "adding" in editing.

Next, we will discuss the "AeditingAbout. As I mentioned in the "Structure" section, it is true that writing articles with a sense of realism can be achieved if you write with a sense of storytelling. But on the other handIf you write about the entire process, your writing will be spaced out and feel sloppy.It also means that

I think that if you write a long and rambling article, people will gradually stop reading it because they will get bored while they are reading it.(Unless you're a big fan.)It is also stressful for the reader if the Japanese is uncomfortable or if the text is unclear as to what is being said.

In order to reduce such things as much as possible, I go back through the articles I've written and do some editing to remove sentences or, conversely, make some changes.The ratio of composition and editing in an article is approximately2:8"".

Writing a whole sentence can be done relatively quickly, but revising the details, "editingThe "work" process, in any case, takes time.

(1) Cut down on sentences

For me personally, I think the scene isThe text, which switches at a quick pace, is easy to understand and read.I feel that it is a good idea. So, once you read what I wrote, you will see that "You keep talking about the same scene.If you feel that "the part is not good enough," you can remove the busted part.

I wrote earlier that the ratio of composition to editing is "2:8," but on the other hand, if you put more effort into composition and really write from the beginning, you'll get a "2:8" ratio.I've worked so hard to write this and it would be a shame to delete it.I would think, "I can't cut down the sentences.

With that in mind, I feel that a "2:8" ratio of composition to editing is the best balance for me.

(2) Shorten and rewrite into beautiful Japanese.

Next, I will begin the process of correcting sentences and Japanese, and I am conscious of the followingShorten one sentence.It's about "the best way to get the most out of your time. ...but it's a long story (-_-)

In any case, keep each sentence short and simple to make it easy to read.

Also, "correct spelling into beautiful JapaneseAbout the "clean Japanese" thing. I don't read books on a regular basis, so I actually don't know much about beautiful Japanese. So, at least I can say that "Use the written word, not the spoken word.I try to do that.(e.g., "I mean..." instead of "I mean...")

However, to make the text realistic and relatable, it is sometimes better to dare to write sentences in the spoken language. So, it is only a matter of "I do so because I personally prefer to write in the written word.Only."

(iii) Add the position of the adverb and the subject.

The next fix would be toVery much. Sometimes.adverbs such as(Am I right?)is inserted before the word you want to emphasize. For example, if

I am.veryI'm impressed with this car." Rather than "I was impressed by this car andveryI was impressed." I think it is more telling that "I was moved" by the

It's a small detail, but... (-_-)

Also, "subjectI try to add the subject to sentences that are missing the "". Although there are many things that can be understood without daring to write them.The reader will be more or less stressed if it is difficult to understand "who" and "what" in the text.So, edit with that in mind as well.

(4) Insert a paragraph

Even if you shorten one sentence to make it easier to readIf you write in a row without separating paragraphs, a quick glance at the screen will dissuade people from reading.

At least in my case, I'm not good with print (laughs).

Therefore, I try to separate paragraphs at key points to make it easier to read visually.

(5) Check for typographical errors and omissions

Finally, read it all over again."Is there anything that feels out of place?" "Are there any typographical errors?"I check the "what" and "why" of the article. However, even after reviewing the articles, I often find typos and omissions in the articles uploaded on the same day, and in such cases, I rush to correct them.

...I guess that is the point I am trying to make in writing the article.

I want to write better articles.

I wrote this article in a kind of great way, but there are many articles that are not done in this way, so I wrote this article to say, "I'm sorry.I can't help but feel that I've strangled myself.I realized the fact that "-_-" (-_-)

This is not the best way to write. I would like to be able to write more enjoyable and easy-to-understand sentences, and I believe that the only way to improve quality is to do so in quantity.

    Thank you so much for introducing our blog to us.
    Thank you very much.

    As I read this article over and over again.
    I was reminded of something.

    I didn't realize...
    From a terrible mistake.
    I realized I started my own blog lol.

    At first glance, it was written in a slurred manner with his own sense of style.

    The Porsche of the blogosphere.
    I guess I wasn't wrong in expressing that.
    I am proud to say!

    This article is worth the level of paid educational material in this issue.

      Mr. jewnichi
      Thank you so much for everything you do for us!
      I really feel like I've been choking myself pretty hard on this article, and I'm not sure what to do about it.
      The article was a good reminder to myself, in a good way, that I need to write better again if I am going to be a great writer.

      I'm an amateur car guy myself.
      To be honest, I've been reading articles in the automotive media and I still don't understand some of the...

      I'll try to write it in such a way that it's easy for me to read and understand.
      While I'm trying to learn what I don't know by asking my husband and researching.
      Here we are now.

      I would be happy to exchange more information with you.
      Thank you for your continued support!
