What's the point in what you're saying? Do you even know if there is a point to it? Or are you content to exist in pointlessness?
Writers are entitled to have their readers at their fingertips, so to say, which makes it extremely important for them to know what their point is. If the writer doesn't know the point then the reader surely won't. When a reader finds a certain screed to be pointless, the writer has lost them forever. At worst, a writer without a point can end up with a confused and perhaps even angry reader.
In order to draw your reader into your article or essay and keep that reader interested all throughout, you need to make your point as clear and obvious as possible.
However, it's one thing to say you know your point and can express it clearly, and another thing to actually do those. So what is a writer to do?
Finding your point is, in the words of a nascent King of Pop, easy as A-B-C, 1-2-3.
First, identify your topic. Take note of that one subject you plan to write about. Come up with just one word or a short phrase related to the subject. To use an unconventional example, let us assume you want to write an article about playing electric guitar. Hence, playing electric guitar is your phrase.
Next, you would want to ask relevant questions about the topic. Using the above example, how can you play electric guitar like the pros? Now turn that question into a statement, such as "You can make potty training easy... " Now you have a point. But in the words of the great Ron Popeil...but wait, there's more!
Okay, now here's where the fun begins - take that main point of yours and come up with three auxiliary points. Making your point may be important, but it is three times as important, no pun intended, to make it as clear as possible. That is why support is important. It's as simple as first thinking of three subsidiary points to the main point. For example, keeping the pressure low, making it fun, and giving it time. Now take these three auxiliary points you have made and conjoin them to your statement with a preposition. Generally speaking, "because" is a great choice for a preposition, but "by" might be your best option if you take the above example. Some of your other options may include the following - about, before, through, under or with.
This provides you with a solid introductory paragraph.
You can play electric guitar like the pros by learning the scales, learning chord progressions and starting with the basics.
Not only do you have a point that you will be able to make clear and apparent to the reader, but you also have a road map for your article or essay. Simply expand on your introduction and expand on each supporting point in turn and you will have a clear point, good organization, and solid support.
So before you write an article or essay, take some time out to think about your point, as it could only stand to make writing more convenient for you. More importantly, it makes readers' lives much easier. And that is the point of this article.
