Balance the Technical with the Basics When Warranted

Filed under: — admin at 4:23 am on Friday, January 27, 2012

New article writers often struggle with finding the proper way to convey complex information about their subject while not overwhelming casual readers. In most cases, the catch is to create a rhythmic break-up between advanced infodumps and casual metaphors or appeals to emotion. When you write articles, never let your industry jargon stand on its own – always add a comparison or example afterwards so even people who’ve just started learning can easily grasp whatever it is that you’re writing about. This technique has been in use for decades in technical genres of writing such as hard science fiction, and was even made famous by repeated and potent usage in Star Trek scripts.
