I want to be an effective writer but I don't get good thoughts and effective words. How can I make my mind a thoughts producing one and see a problem from different perspectives?

I see writers on Quora that how fantastic expression they have for each problem. I can not even imagine these angles to a simple problem. I also want to be one. Can such quality be acquired or it is god gifted. I also have a problem that I cant think and speak at the time of incident and remain silent but my thoughts generate idea and replies only after the incidence so no use.

For me the answer has been . In breath meditation, you spend a lot of time focusing on one thing, but you also learn to deal with all the anxieties and hangups that are making it hard for you to sit still. It gets you comfortable with your own mind, and that's to say nothing of all the other psychological and spiritual benefits you can glean from it. (Note that there is no need to connect religion to meditation. It's a practice that can be completely separated from any religious doctrine.)

Probably looks like you are taking too much of pressure to write and prove something. Take it easy my friend. Just spill out your thoughts and ask questions in your mind about all possible things on an incident. You would have unknowingly written a lot.

Story StructureThe most plurative answer for storytelling in general, I heard from a writer (whose name I forget) who spoke of the first story his daughter ever wrote. Robin Hood went riding through the forest. He met a bad guy. They fought. He won. He was on the verge of just patting her head and sticking it on the fridge when he realized that she had accomplished in sixteen words what so many would-be writers fail despite hundreds of pages. Protagonist and Setting. Turning Point and Antagonist. Conflict and Climax. Resolution. Simple and primitive as it was, his daughter had written a complete story with no dead weight whatsoever. In a nutshell, this is the minimal starting point for anyone who fancies themselves a writer. At first glance, this seems rather counter-intuitive - we tend to think of writing as epic sagas with scores of principal characters. But, when you boil everything down to its purest essence, any story worth telling can be expressed just a few sentences. If you can't do this, you don't have a story in the first place. "A Kansas farmgirl discovers that everything she thought lacking from her life was there all along." "A naive young hobbit embarks upon a secret quest to save the world by destroying the Ring of ultimate power." "A vapid teen girl tries to choose between necrophilia and bestiality." Once you have your tagline, you know where your story is - anything you include must, directly or indirectly, support it. Narrative FocusThe best advice I ever received on this note is to always write the first draft of a story in first-person. Most writing tends to use a Third-Person: Limited perspective (POV), though First-Person has its following as well - these two forms are easily interchangable. One minor benefit is that, if you can imagine your characters well, your writing will pick up their inflection. The biggest benefit is that it inherently highlights anytime you try to reveal something that a particular character doesn't know. The key to believable characters lies in their eccentricity. Think back on some of your old friends and you'll find that one or two key words will fairly well summarize how they think. "Facebook diva", "sliderule jock", and "stoner savant" characterize three people I knew well in my past - characters aren't real people, but they act that way (and are often based on real people the author has known at some point). As with taglines above, these two-word summaries serve much the same purpose. "Stoner savant" is going to be relatively useless throughout but, if you establish the 'savant' aspect early on, they can be the source for key information your Protagonist needs. He operates by rote - definitely not a creative thinker - but he has a knack for remembering creative things others have done. (Sort of a reverse McGuyver.) VocabularyFrom what you describe, it seems you feel your vocabulary is lacking. It's nothing 'wrong' with you - just that a person's vocabulary reflects their environment, and limited exposure to new ideas limits their vocabulary. (Something else to keep in mind when writing, dialogue in particular.) With the internet, all the exposure you want (and then some) is there for the taking. Try hitting up sites like http://Dictionary.com and check out their Word of the Day - try using it several times over the course of the day. When writing, take a peek at http://Thesaurus.com and find a new synonym (or antonym, as the case may be) to try out. The latter is a great way to help refine characterization through dialogue. Zaftig, corpulent, portly, husky, and Reubenesque reflect upon the person using the words at least as much as the person they are being used to describe. Apart from the above, just live. Keep your eyes wide open as you go through life. Writing is all about delivering experiences - as grand as nuclear holocaust or as subtle as watching a summer gust carry dandelion fluff off into the unknown. Reading works by good (not necessarily popular) authors helps, but far more important is to pay attention in life.

My dear friend, this is a simple yet very interesting question. In response to the 1st part of your question: I want to be an effective writer... 1 -- If you want to be become a good writer, the best way to start is to start reading. For the 2nd part of your question: ...but I do not get good thoughts and effective words. 2 -- Read as much as you can. Read different topics from different subjects. This will also increase your general knowledge, something that the US education system puts very little emphasis own given its a super power. Pertaining to the 3rd part of your question: How can I make my mind a thoughts producing one... 3 -- This will also increase your general knowledge, something that the US education system puts very little emphasis own given its a super power. In response to the 4th part of your question: and seeing a problem from different perspectives? 4 -- This can happen by two ways: Start writing about what you read. Level 1: Start by writing a summary of what you read. Level 2: Then start writing an analysis of what you read in bulleted list. Level 3: Once you have done that you can start writing essays. For the 1st part of your description: I see writers on Quora that how fantastic expression they have for each problem. I can not even imagine these angles to a simple problem. 5 -- A lot of the people on Quora answer the questions based on their experience, knowledge based on their jobs and what they have heard from their friends. As far as the 2nd part of your description: I also want to be one. 6 -- You can be one by sharing what you have read through written practice and intellectual (but casual) discussions with your colleagues, friends and family. Over time you will gain wisdom. As per the 3rd part of your description: Can such quality be acquired or it is God gifted. 7 -- No it is not God gifted, it comes with passion to write and interest in the subject one wants to write about. Regarding the 4th part of your description: I also have a problem that I cant think and speak at the time of incident and ... 8 -- Once you have gotten into the habit of writing, you can further improve by improving your though process. If you have trouble organizing your thoughts.

Speak up whenever you have the chance when you are in the company of friends. If you feel that you have a fantastic idea or response then learn to politely interrupt a discussion. If you still feel you are not up to that level then always been a notebook with you or take notes on your cellphone. A] A good place to start is recording your voice on a sound recorder B] Practice by speaking in front of a mirror C] Read your summaries, analysis and written work out loud. I hope I was able you help. Please share my answer if you like it and vote for it.

I don't know if you're trying to communicate in a second language, if you are, give yourself a pat on the back and cut yourself some slack. That being said, the nice thing about Quora, is that unlike a verbal conversation, you can take your time phrasing your answer. Write about things you know (you know more than you realize.) Write about things you're passionate about (it's more fun.) The more you write, the easier it gets. You can also copy and paste your answers in an online grammar checker to learn how to write "correctly," just understand that computers are dumb, and not always right.

Try to start telling better stories in person. Blog a lot and see which articles get the most attention. Storytelling is an art that requires practice and also an understanding of people.

I am wondering, if you think that you don't get good thoughts or effective words, why exactly do you want to write? Do you have impulses that are nebulous and you feel compelled to express them through words, but stumble over the exact ones to use? Or do you want to write because you admire the writing that you read and you envy that skill? Those are two different motivations; if you identify with the first then by all means you should keep reading and practicing and eventually your inspiration will find expression. If, however, you admit to the second then you don't have the true urge to write but rather want to acquire that title of being a writer for superficial reasons. Be honest with yourself first. If you really wanted to write there would be nothing else you would rather do and you'd know it. Also I agree with the advice to write what you know, but that doesn't mean you need to begin with lofty or very deep subjects; you already know so much. You've had an apple before, right? Start writing about what an apple looks like to you, how it feels in the palm of your hand, what happens to your gums and teeth and tongue as you take the first bite into it, how it sounds different compared to other food that you've eaten. Start with something small and seemingly insignificant and see where it takes you. ( you'll notice that I've edited this answer!-don't sweat it if it doesn't come out perfect the first time!)
