Hi,
For good essay writing you must follow the following steps-
1. Early Beginning: It is an undeniable fact that it is difficult to make up your mind and begin writing an essay. But, in all cases, earlier the better. If you begin writing the essay early, you have ample time to think and research about the topic and add it into the essay. This will also prevent you from writing something that would make no sense when you have just a little time to submit it.
2. Prepare a Draft: Preparing a draft or a rough copy of your essay is always a good idea. Jot down all the points that you would want to include in the essay. This will help you speak out your mind and dig out all that you want to write. You can later sort the points and arrange them in an order in which you would go forward writing it
3. Follow the Flow: You cannot keep adding points that you keep remembering with time. Once you are prepared with the draft, sort it in groups where they would be written. The three main parts of the essay would be the Introduction, the Main Body and the Conclusion.
4. Do not beat around the Bush: If you give a certain word count that you have to accomplish, you need not go repeating the same point again and again or do not even move out of the topic. Be sure to stick to the topic and be precise about things.
5. Get others Involved: This can be done, especially when you are asked to write about yourself. You can let some of your friends or near ones read what you have written and confirm whether what you have written actually speaks about you. This will prevent exaggeration of any quality and also help you add a few that they may know.
Hope this will help you.
