Heres 3 tips to start off your New Year. 1. Brainstorm Once youve decided what your writing is going to be about, brainstorm. Think of a new angle for your article. For example: If youre writing for your local newspaper about an author, dont necessarily write only the obvious details.

An example would be: “I had no energy. My energy had been sucked out of me” Now thats not the great example, but you get the point. A good way to tell if you ave fluff is to put your article away for a while.

Use words to “pump” up your article, actions, appeal to ones senses if its about cooking. Have the reader become excited and motivated if its a teaching article.
