5 Steps to Stand-Out Writing
  1. Let your mind run wild, then reel it in. Big ideas come from great brainstorms. Factual precision comes from great research.

  2. Don't assume that you'll remember a good idea, opening sentence, or thesis. Because you won't. Write it down! Anywhere you can!

  3. Respect the tried-and-true essay format, but don't feel constrained by it. If it feels tired and suffocating, mold it such that it suits the flow of your argument -- while still keeping everything organized.

  4. Give your writing personality. Even in analytical or research-based papers, a bit of well-tuned flair can add a distinctive and enjoyable touch.

  5. Pour your passion into your argument and your writing. Watch it come to life.
