How can the modern technology can help all the aspiring writers in pursuing their writing career?

NerdIndeed

There are several tools and resources that you can use to improve in your writing if you are aspiring to be a good writer. One perfect example is Grammarly - software that you can use to check for grammatical errors and typos when you write. I highly recommend it and to be honest, I use it as well. Good luck!

Grammatical errors has been a serious problem to most writers and it's the use of grammarly that has put a full stop or reduced the issue to the smallest possible outcome. I can remember the first time I joined freelance writing and was introduced to making use of grammarly, I saw its benefits immediately.

Grammarly is indeed an amazing resource. But we have to be honest with ourselves, if a writer doesn't read, then he/she won't have a good grammar. Is just a basic rule, to know the grammar, you have to study it, because softwares are not perfect either.

I agree. Grammarly only acts as software to aid you in writing. It's like a fail-safe mechanism if ever you have overlooked something in your work. It does not entirely do the job for you. You still need to be well-versed to be a competent writer.

Can you remember the time of typewriter? Now compare how writing was in those past ages and now, then you would see how good the use of technology has been in making writing to be more effective, interesting and satisfying. Everything about writing has been made a lot easier since the dawn of technology. From printing press to digital printing, it's been a better experience for writers.

I have experienced using a typewriter during my primary school years. I am not that skilled in using it but somehow familiar how it works since my aunt works as a secretary and this is one of her most used office tool. I tried typing my report on my own and it took me a very long time before I was able to finish. Not just because I was slow in striking each letter but whenever I made a mistake, I would need to start all over again. That is just one of the things that writers today can thank the invention of computers for. Editing and deleting parts of the article is so much easier.

I have not used one but in my school there was this room where old relics were stored andd a typewriter was one of them. We would go into the room to see the artifacts and just trying out the typewriter made someone appreciate the beauty of innovation and technology. Its use is so complicated especially when you have been used to computers.

I remember that back in the province we have a typewriter. My aunts are a teacher in elementary and i witnessed how they make use of typewriters because back in the days computers are pretty expensive that's why they end up using the typewriter. Well, in our generation today, computers are really helpful to us. It can help us in various ways that's why we need to use it in a good way and let's not abuse it.

I definitely agree. It used to be so difficult to write stuff. Typewriters were clunky and often hard to use. And it was difficult to edit your work using them. Everything used to be manual labor.

But look at us now. There's a ton of software for writing and editing.

Martinsx1 - Uumm … AMEN! PREACH! How can the modern technology can help all the aspiring writers in pursuing their writing career?

I remember the typewriter. I remember white out. I remember self-correcting typewriters where you could backspace and correct a typing error. I remember owning a typewriter that had a memory and I could save my document to a disk. I remember when my boss bought a word processor for the office and I taught myself how to use it. I no longer had to wait for the secretary to type my memos and reports because I could do it myself! YAY!! How can the modern technology can help all the aspiring writers in pursuing their writing career?

Anything and everything that has been invented to help make my writing work quicker and easier I have likely tried. The only thing I have not tried are audio tools where you can speak the words you want to be written. The only thing aspiring writers need to be concerned about is technology making it quick and easy for others to STEAL THEIR IDEAS and profit from their hard work! Other than that, thanks to technology, writers are free birds!

I was able to use a typewriter. The pain of having typo error when you get near the buttom page. If you tolerate the sight of "touch-and-go" (liquid eraser) in your work, you can get away from it. But when you are or your instructor wants it perfect, you have no choice but to start from the top. The generation today are so lucky for having the technolofy.

Let me just call it the use of the internet bank of books or information called Wikipedia. There is nothing in this world that you can find in Wikipedia, so when it comes to research, the internet is the best bet for getting any information one needs to use for his writing. I can't imagine living in the stone age like our forefathers did. It was a horrible time to live in.

There are so many ways writer can utilize technology to help their career. First and foremost is the information, the internet is littered with information that could help a writer either improve their skill, find a hot topic, or just learn, learn ore on the profession that they have taken. Secondly is their grammar, yes I know this might be a little bit shallow, but let's face it not all of us are great a grammar, thus why not use technology? technology is a great tool in correcting your grammar. Lastly but no certainly the last one is that technology can help your work be known in different platforms, and could even be distributed all around the world.

There are lots of platforms online that could help motivate and improve a writer's skill. Writing a blog is one of them. Sites like Tumblr and Medium have been known as good outlets for aspiring writers. I've read a few articles by just normal people (People who don't have jobs related to journalism) and I've enjoyed quite a few. I guess with the internet's existence, it opened up a bunch of opportunities to become an outlet for aspiring writers everywhere.

First of all, I would like to appreciate the role of technology in the world of writers and how it is helping them to grow to be giants in the literature world. For me, the internet has been like a father and a guide through the first days of writing. I can do as much research as possible just from the comfort of my living room. I use tools like plagiarism checkers, grammar checkers, and SEO tools to ensure that my work always comes out as good as possible. Not to mention, I have experienced my fair share of problems with technology such as fraud from evil clients.

This age of modern technology will be very helpful for any aspiring writers in so many ways in pursuing their passion in writing. For one, you can search content and develop ideas through different things you can browse online. Writers can also have different platform now to promote their work without having so much trouble. Another one is as aspiring writers, they can submit their stories whether good or bad to sites like wattpad to earn income without becoming entangle with the previous work of submitting a manuscript. Furthermore, the almost real-time communication with their reader giving their feedbacks will greatly help any amateur writer to develop his/her capability.

I personally use modern technologies that we have now a days by taking advantage of the internet and I visit different sites especially with blogs which can inspire me more. I also take advantage of the social media sites because there are communities out there that can help you as well with your questions and the most beautiful thing is you can personally talk to them via chat. When it comes to tools, I usually the common software like MS Word and etx and I do manual editing too. The technologies are just there, I think you just have to keep on searching, read and read and learn and then it'll eventually lead you to the tools that you need. Writers have different approach when it comes to writing, you just have to discover your own technique.

Basically, a writer can get some good tips by watching tutorials. So, you can go to YouTube, watch how to deal with writing for beginners, then start to download new apps that will make the work easier, and more tutorials on how to handle those apps. Honestly, technology will help you out a lot, but first you have to be read a lot, and have amazing grammar and spelling.

Oh, yes. I agree with you! I just forgot to mention it in my comment but it's true that most good tips come from video tutorials and I usually watch some of it too. You know what, I suddenly remembered one of my favorite blogger/vlogger who I just discovered in browsing to social media site and I really like his video tutorials. He teaches different tips on writing, content making, concepts on communication and so on. I forgot his name because he is actually a Japanese but his English skills is really amazing and I learn a lot from him. So yes, video tutorials are very much helpful for beginners. Well, reading is also a must.

Tutorials have become almost a main tool. We have to face it, sometimes they are really messy, and no matter how much the vlogger knows, he or she doesn't know how to share their knowledge, and you don't get anything they're talking about. However, most of the time, the vlogger is experienced, gives you wonderful tips and tricks, and you can learn a lot by following their ideas.

But with the use of internet, it's very easy now to publish any good book writing especially in ebook.

Writing in the old days was the preserve of just a few people who were considered talented. Technology has made it possible for the average person to improve their skills and become a writer. With software like Grammarly, a writer can check their grammar and sentence construction.With technology you can carry out all your research online and write from anywhere in the world. You can access all the information you need from anywhere. For example most of my clients are from the US and most of my articles are about American culture. Note I don't live in the US.

how can modern technology help all the aspiring writers in pursuing their careers

Blogs and other online publishing platforms are good place for new and aspiring writers to showcase their writing.

In the past, for your book or article to be published you either had to find an agent to find the right publisher for your book or send a query letter to an editor to ask them if they'd like to take a look at your article. All these work was always followed by rejections. Get too many of these rejections and you'd probably never write again.

Now with blogs, or free online publishing platforms, you can at least publish anything you want. And the fact that what you are writing is being read by someone other than your friends or family can encourage to work harder and set loftier goals for yourself (as a writer).I suppose this is one way modern tech can help new writers.

These are things which would be beyond reach for many aspiring writers but now freely available thanks to the internet.

I guess the other very useful tool or software that a newcomer can use and take full advantage is getting some tool like Grammarly which will help in avoiding the common grammatical mistakes that a newcomer would commit while writing. I think once these basics tools are used a newcomer can then concentrate on improving and polishing his skills of writing.

Another way modern technology can help aspiring writers is this - Writing challenges. They help writers build "writing discipline."

There is NanoWrimo for example and other 30 day writing challenges.

What I like most about these writing challenges is that once a writer decides to, say, write a novel in 30 days you'll get all the encouragement you need from other writers to actually complete writing the novel even if it hard because they too, are doing it.

If they can do it, why can't you?

In the past attempting to do something like this and actually achieving your goals (in this case writing a book in a month) would be hard because if your enthusiasm flagged and you got no encouragement to keep going, you'd just give up.

And as these writing challenges help you build your writing discipline, you'll be able to consistently meet deadlines should you eventually work as a freelancer.
