My Seven Non-secrets in Writing a Draft for My Articles
The following items disclose my secrets in writing a draft for my articles to be submitted in Triond. You may find them unusual but they are very effective.
- Every time I am not in front of my computer and I had come up with an idea or a very good title to write, I immediately typed it on my mobile phone and save it to drafts folder so that I will not forget it. Later on, when I already got the time, I put in into writings.
- Since I am not a native speaker of English, there were times when I got confused in the correct choice of words or appropriate sentence structure. When I experience that, I use google translate. Although it cannot perfectly translate the whole text, it gives you the pattern.
- Every time I am dealing with an article that composes a list, ideas never rely on myself, I ask my colleagues during lunch break or snacks. (This is also a very good topic to talk about when you are with them coz it brings laughter!)
- I am always giving enough time to read my friends’ articles. Ideas of my articles are not solely byproducts of my own intelligence. A particular line, a quotation, a famous person, a photograph or even the title of an article can give me idea on what to write next.
- At the workplace, having a neighboring colleague who is also a Trionder is beneficial for both. You can share your ideas and ask each others questions and indeed, he will definitely be the first visitor of your article. That’s money right?
- The opinion or comment of a personal friend (not a trionder) is very important coz he/ she could tell in front of your face that your article sounds absurd or it appeared too dramatic. The honest comments of a real friend can motivate you to improve your draft before posting it. Honesty is not the best policy in triond. You can still receive comments as “nice article” even if it is really not.
- Paraphrasing can make you survive! Plagiarism is when you copy the original text and you claim it as your own while paraphrasing is restating other’s idea in your own words. This is legal in whatever perspective you want to look at it (but I did not use paraphrasing in this particular article though!).

Interesting share of your “secrets”.I use old fashioned pen and paper when I want to take a note of something that could be an idea for my next article.

Some no brainers, but sometimes the most obvious is always the most easy to overlook.
