Did you ever notice that some people can write interesting articles and some people can write about the same subject and make it boring or even unreadable? Maybe you think you are someone who falls in the second category. But no, you are probably someone who just doesn't know the technology - the rules of writing an interesting article.
There are very specific rules for grammar, punctuation and spelling in the English language and everyone should have learned these rules in school. But in case you were absent that day (year? a few years?) your word processing program will help you correct spelling, punctuation and even some grammar. (You still have to proof read - no program is good enough to catch all errors.) Some word processing programs even offer synonyms and a thesaurus, and if yours doesn't you can find a thesaurus on line. But anyone who can talk sensibly can write a coherent article.
So what makes one piece of writing interesting while another on the same subject is boring? This is what we will explore in the next few paragraphs.
Before you start writing an article, you need to figure out your purpose for writing the article. Concisely state that purpose, if only in your own mind. You could intend to write an article about how to make a TV antenna from coat hangars - that would be a good purpose. Or you could have a purpose to explain chelation therapy in simple terms (chelation therapy is a method of taking heavy metals out of the body). These are examples of a purpose you could have for writing. Without that purpose, your article will be confusion.
A way to make an article interesting is to state examples. See paragraph above for use of examples. People read those examples and think, "I get that!" Examples make your writing usable for the reader.
Another way to make your article real to your reader and thereby make it more interesting is use of words. Figure out whom you want or expect to read your article. Then figure out what words they would understand. If you want to use a term like "qualitative reasoning," you must be writing for math and science professors. If you are writing for a high school science class, use "computer programs for robots" instead. (In this paragraph we states examples without saying we were stating examples. More interesting that repeating the phrase, "for example.")
Shorter sentences, paragraphs and articles are easier to read, and therefore more likely to be read. Since your idea for writing the article is to get it read, keep sentences and paragraphs to a reasonable length, and if possible, the article itself.
