 　　98To write or not to write
Writing is not easy. I do it everyday. And I can tell you, it’s quite a challenge. But, the more I do it, the easier I get to just----write. Sometimes, that’s the most difficult part-----starting. When people ask me about writing---how they can write---I often suggest they brainstorm¹ first. Writing the main ideas collected to a topic, usually produces some great things. If the things get organized, perhaps through an outline, you can write something really great.
Most of the writings I do with spontaneous², I just start writing. I just stopped and done. But I always go over what I wrote at least two times. The first time I go over my writing is spell-check the word, It’s unacceptable to deliver a piece of writing with misspelling in it. The second time, I actually read what I wrote aloud, and add things that may I missed, it could be a idea that seems incomplete³ or something else.
If you have the time, it’s good to put your writing down for a little while, and read it again later, and to see how you like it. You may have something you wish to add or subtract⁴. If you have a serious paper to write, and you have completed all of the things I talked about, the best thing to do----before you return your paper----is to have someone to read what you wrote and make comments on it.
There is no doubt that practice makes perfect. or at least better, So, if you want to be a better writer in Korean or English, I recommend that you write as much as you can.
