Long Papers

Are you writing a long paper? Staying focused and on topic seems like a pain. I would suggest breaking up text. You may do this by incorporating useful illustrations and sorting the information into organized categories. Time and effort is key. You should create an outline before creating your first draft. Having a detailed outline helps the structure of your paper and allows your paper to be manageable. It makes all of sense. Stay focused! If you are having trouble staying focused the reader would also. Overall, this is what makes writing long papers and documents easier.

Include Graphics or Illustrations

“Should I include graphics and illustrations to my document?” Some questions to ask yourself before adding any image or graph in your document is followed. Determine the reason behind the graph. Was an experiment conducted to support your text? Do you want the reader to view practical applications of what is being discussed in the document? Is there a table, lab, graph, or chart that can prove how you came up with certain results? Lastly, is the graphic or illustration worth it? An illustration or graphic should support your main topic. It is not needed when the graphic or illustration is weak or does not have a reason behind it at all. Most readers do not like clutter or unneeded texts or graphics. They will either feel discouraged or read a document partially. Think about the questions I have listed before incorporating a graphic or illustration.

More on Illustrations

Most graphics are used to decorate a document instead of supporting the message. Any graphics I use would include a chart or graph to support success in a particular field. Pictures and drawing usually distract the reader and is used as decorations. I would suggest finding illustrations that support your writing such as collected data or a graph (if you are going to include an illustration).

Illustrations with writing

Illustrations are created to make sense of information. Suggestions I give to writers are, use this as a way to draw in a reader, help the reader understand what exactly you mean, this gives an extra way to view data. I use result data to prove my words. It will give a clear reason on your subject matter. My readers will benefit by interpreting illustrations to understand my written works.
