What type of writing would develop writing skills to better describe a topic?

Writing about a topic can be difficult if you have no prior knowledge on how to explain what you are trying to say. I feel that firsthand experience is the most beneficial method to gaining the knowledge to tell someone about it. Actually seeing the sights, smelling the smells, doing the jobs offers an unlimited pool of knowledge to clearly tell someone what you want them to know in a report or any other work that you are trying to do.

Furthermore, in order to understand the audience’s perspective on a subject, you must remember what it is like to not know anything and be ignorant about whatever it is that you want to discuss. Once you experience or do something, it opens the door to be able to tell people about it. Living proof of doing or studying your topic lets one give great detail so that one can educate others who are as naïve on a topic as you once were. Many authors have produced very successful works because of their clarity and attention to clearly tell people what they want them to see or understand what they want them to understand. Some authors have secondary sources which they can refer to in order to gain knowledge. However, this method contains a flaw. A secondary source will see things through their own perspective and have their own tone to the information that they give to the author to write about. Directly being a source an author can make up their own mind on a subject and write about it according to their discretion.

Also, your writing can grow more if you have an opportunity to see, do, and go through whatever you are writing about. Even if your mind lacks the ability and detail to write about a topic the right words will naturally come to you. You can be able to be able to share your thoughts with others, with such detail that they feel like they are actually there if you do the job or research your topic. It is not good if a reader has to put on a blind fold and feel around to get a grasp of writer one is writing about. It is an advantage to give the reader some of the foresight that you do if you use the correct words and details. The enjoyment of the reader rests on the shoulders of exquisite details and proper description.

Naturally people will assume that writing and telling someone something in a report is easy. Simply writing is not enough in some cases. What better words can explain with clarity than those from a wise person? Some people actually try to go around research or the truth of some matters. The fact is that there is no better information than that of a veteran to the job or subject. Which advice on life would you take the advice of an old man or of a six year old child? The ability to write is a power; the common knowledge of whatever you are writing is an even greater power. You can educate people to even greater lengths with better wording, sourcing from a memory or current experience is a great advantage.

In conclusion, there are many ways to improve your writing skills and clarity. There is also multiple methods on how to write to an audience. However, I believe that through direct experience, one can tell an audience every aspect of their chosen topic. No person, even the most experienced of authors has the sight to write reports and describe things to others if they know absolutely nothing about. The best story tellers or authors are the ones that have lived it.
