Essay writing is the way or medium through which a writer can express his knowledge about the topic. Essay writing is very easy if one knows how to express in set word boundaries. For students, there is very little time or there is a very tight deadline given by the examiner, resulting in writing an essay in an unorganized way. However, there are a few tips which can help a writer to produce a good essay work.

1. Have a positive and right mindset:

A positive and right mindset is very important before writing an essay. It is very important to keep calm, do not panic, have patience and relax. The writer should not easily give up because of a lack of time or because of a lack of complete knowledge about the topic. Before writing an essay, one should keep the negative thoughts away from the mind. Doing so, it will definitely make the writer write an essay with speed. One should have a “can-do attitude”. One should keep a positive attitude and should keep all points in mind or note down points on a piece of paper.

2. Stay away from the phone and social notifications:

Essay writing needs peace of mind and no unnecessary notification on social networks like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, telegram, and other social networking sites. It not only wastes time but also distracts one mind from the topic. It will disturb the flow of writing and hence will end up in writing an essay with less than the set word limit. It is advisable to keep the phone on silent mode and stop scrolling unnecessary social feeds.

The writer should sit in a place away from television or radio and have complete silence. This will help a writer to concentrate on the essay only.

3. Prefer writing a typed essay rather than a handwritten essay:

Well, with so many advanced techniques, writers should prefer writing a typed essay rather than writing a handwritten essay. A typed essay saves time. Nowadays, most young people have good typing speed. In many universities and competitions, writers are asked to submit typed essays only. The other advantage of writing a typed essay is the grammar can easily be checked while writing. The essay can be easily edited and there is no need for cutting or using a whitener. It will give a good presentation of an essay. Lastly, it will make the reader read the essay easily. Most of the time, the reader is not able to read or understand the handwriting of other people easily.

4. Read and understand the question carefully:

It is very important for a student or writer to read the question asked about an essay carefully. For example: The examiner has asked a writer to write an essay on what are shortcomings about the Public Distribution System and suggest some of ways to make PDS efficient. The writer just read the word PDS and started writing about the importance of PDS. This definitely will make all essays irrelevant to what was asked.

So, the writer should not be in a hurry to misunderstand the topic. He should carefully read the topic and understand what has been asked. The best way to never get mistaken about misunderstanding the topic is to underline the key instructional words in the question itself. For example: in the above case, one can underline shortcomings, PDS, and suggestions. By doing so, the writer will never be mistaken about the topic asked.

5. Get study notes, books, reading material ready:

The essay should be very informative and should have correct facts and figures. The writer can get books and other study materials ready before writing an essay. The relevant pages will make the writer write an essay quickly and correctly. Doing so it will not waste the time of the writer on searching or flipping the book and finding the correct relevant material.

6. write your argument in brief:

Essay writing is not limited to writing about one approach. Rather it is about writing some of your ideas. It is not restricted to just writing about one idea and making an essay monotonous and boring.

7. Write the notes In the document directly:

Essay writing becomes very easy and fast once the writer jots all his ideas. Many times the writer often skips the content which remains in mind but forgets to pen it down. The notes can be written in short or bullet form in Microsoft word or any or any such writing software. After writing notes, one can form the structure of an essay as per the relevance of the essay.

8. Rewrite the ideas in the form of an essay:

Once a writer has written notes, now it's writing an essay in descriptive form, Explaining the arguments. In this step, one can write about the idea in detail.

9. Introduction and Conclusion:

The introduction and conclusion are very important parts of an essay. After writing an essay body, plan for the introduction and conclusion. In conclusion, it is better to write briefly about the main suggestion, steps or remedies and most important content in brief.

The introduction and conclusion should be not in details. Also it is better if same lines are not repeated in essay as it makes essay boring.

The essay writer can also write references and sources in remarks. This can be done simultaneously, to avoid the wastage of time.

10. Grammar Check and copy errors:

Writing a typed essay saves time as the grammar check can be done simultaneously. It is very important that the writer never copy and paste any essay. It can be easily caught and copied using plagiarism tools. The essay should be unique and self-written. Also, it will not make you gain knowledge about the topic. It is better for the writer to read the article and write an essay in their own words rather than just getting everything copied.

11. Do not over-quote an essay:

Essay writing means writing an essay or penning down your views and ideas. It doesn't mean the writer writes so many quotes. It is recommended that the writer should not write more than 1-2 quotes, if necessary.

The essay should be unique and hence writer should keep the essay self-written instead of searching for what others think and quoting their views in the essay.
