I’ve been writing as a hobby since I was a kid. But it’s been only recently that I’ve written articles for wide publication.

Still, in that relatively short period of time, I’ve learned a lot about how to write compelling, informative articles (well, I hope that they are compelling and informative!) I’ve also developed techniques to keep myself productive and avoid writer’s block.

As I’ll discuss, I write partly so that I can share what I’ve learned with other readers. So whether you’re already a writer or you want to become one, I hope that this article will help you along your writing journey.

Why write articles?

Before we get into how I write articles, I’ll briefly go over why.

Sharing what I’ve learned

Every day, I take advantage of free content to advance my engineering career. Whether in blogs, tutorials, presentation videos, or Stack Overflow discussions, many tech professionals freely share what they know with the broader community. So if I have something to contribute to the public knowledge base, I’ll happily do it.
