ne of the boring things in academic life is essay writing. Essay writing may look complicated to beginners but it is a completion of checklist for regular writers.
 
Starting with raw data doesn’t works for formal essay writing. This data has to be organized in such a way that it follows in four categories. These are:

  • Subject
  • Introduction
  • Explanation
  • Conclusion

These are the basic parts that should be completed in sequence, in order to write a formal essay. A brief explanation on each of these parts is as follows:
Subject
Come up with a proper subject. You should do some research before finalizing subject of your essay as it is the key factor in building interest of the reader. Try choosing a topic on which you can do creative writing.
Introduction
Introduction or the starting of an essay should always be strong enough to attract reader’s attention and compel them to read through the whole essay with interest. Try giving a small summary of what is to follow in the essay below. Use anecdotes to build reader interest.
Explanation
This is the part where you give the main body of the essay. Explain everything you have to, in this part. Always stick to the topic. Never give stray data which may result in reducing reader’s interest in topic as well as giving an awkward composition to the whole.
Conclusion
A well concluded essay results in leaving impression on the reader. It is as necessary as strong introduction is. Again summarize the whole body of essay in few lines. Try to come up with a suggestion or solution.

These are the main parts that your data should be organized into for creative writing. Although there are sub categories which can also be addressed but they are meant for professional writers. For beginners; following the above mentioned sequence would do fairly good.
