The challenges of writing
That are coming to mind
Scale across all subjects
I think that you will find
How to write in sentences
That make sense to me
That make sense to others
With grammar and structurally
I sometime worry about content
If I don’t know the topic well
Because the most important thing
Is not to fail
But then I struggle with time
The little that I know
I make myself so busy
Rushing to and fro
Then I get tired
I run out of steam
I feel like I'm trying
To row up stream
If you write a lot
I know you understand
Whether creative or academic
I'm here to lend a hand
A good method to follow
Is free writing from the mind
Give yourself a few minutes
And see what you find
Write down a few notes
In a method that works for you
You will then see what you know
Its really easy to do
Document your thoughts
That are relevant in their way
Each bit of information
Could be useful in future days
If a structure is what you need
And how you prefer to think
In academic writing remember
Point, evidence, explain and link
In both academic and creative
Being aware is key
Don’t repeat what you have written
Plan carefully
Repetition isn’t good
Unless you link it in
Although creativity allows some leeway
With poetry and creative writing
The best way of
Avoiding all this trouble
Is making sure you plan well
And check it double
