An Old Writing Technique I Use
Here’s a nice little trick I learned from one of my high school English teachers:
Write an article. Make it the best you possibly can and feel confident that it’s ready for publication. Then, don’t publish it. Save it as a draft and leave it alone. Go along with your daily life as if you’ve never written the article. Come back to the draft a few days later and read it. Chances are there is a lot of room for improvement. Adjust the article to your liking, and you’ll notice a huge difference in your writing quality.
The reason why this works is due to our constantly growing minds. We learn new things every day, so it’s bound to think a little differently one day than another. New developments, life changing events, etc. are all part of the human experience. Give this technique a go if you’re looking to give your blog that charm it deserves.

Hey - my English teacher taught me a simple tip that Ive used time and time again. Its the S.E.X tip. Statement, eXplanation, Example! Works wonders and I always manage to make decent articles and posts using this very simple formula. Try it yourself if you get stuck.

Yes, I agreee with you. I ever did that before because I was always lack of idea when writing about something. Well, it's not about the idea. It's about I don't know how to disgorge it in text.

Excellent advice. I have used this technique for writing sales letters for some of the products I have created.

Yes I do this all the time. I think a lot of it has to do with some days your mind being more overloaded than others. Some days you just need a fresh perspective. This same things works for other situations as well. I trade stocks for a living and some days a company will look like a good buy, but a few days later looking at the exact same data, your mind interprets it differently. Good post.

Excellent tip man. Sometimes, reviewing the drafts after a break helps. My biggest shortcoming though is impatience. I post it as soon as I have some idea and 'some' content before making it perfect and sometimes without proof reading as well.

hahaha I used this technique before. You can really edit your draft in to a very beautiful article after. Thank you.

Im always amazed at how much I can improve my articles when I read them a few days later. Sometimes Im shocked at how bad the original was!

Good tip here, looking at something you've done with a 'fresh' perspective helps to see the flaws in it.
