0 Plagiarism, Grammar and Expression in writing

One of the reason why many people fail at writing is because they cannot effectively composed an article of writing without the nagging grammars and plagiarism pointers that teachers often fail student on.

We have a system of evaluating articles, essays and documents before they are submitted to the teachers so that students can get good grades and move up in their class.

Parents can be proud and teachers feel like adequate educators when students are progressing.

Students can use online Grammar platforms to check their work before they submit them for gradation.

Online thesaurus and dictionaries can verify spelling of words and give alternative words so that writing does not sound too repetitive.


There are sites that offer plagiarism checks for students who have issues reproducing from content collated by other authors. The idea is to mainly write what you understand from what you have read. This is the best way to avoid plagiarism.


Writing is never an easy feat but one should write from one's imagination and perspective. Do not be intimidated by what others write because you may not share the same outlook.

A famous writer once wrote to our Crystal Evans and said

"Geoffrey Philps wrote to me

" The real journey of a writer – or any creative – isn’t to publication, rewards, acclaim, but to their own voice.
When you find your voice, you connect to yourself, and then through yourself to the world. Your work resonates. As Thoreau once wrote in his journal, “The whole is in each man.” (And each woman.)
I’ve always felt that your voice is twofold: not just how you write, but what you write about. They inform and shape each other.
You need to read, look, listen, absorb. You need to take the world into you so you can reinvent it through your own point of view.
You need to tune out external voices that speak in the language of the shoulds – you should do this, you should do that – and move into the secret life of your intuition. This other life has its own mind. It will guide you to places that, because they are yours, remain – as yet — unknown and uncharted. For all the self-help and how-to that fills our culture, success is, in the end, as unique to you as a fingerprint. You can only make that path by walking it. It unfolds in front of you. Sometimes it carries you along.
So you need to write.
And write.
And write.
You need to write past the point of self-consciousness. You need to quit trying to write: to be clever, witty, pretty, poetic. (Perhaps your true voice is none of these things.) You need to fall through the words into something else entirely.
(Blogging can be exceptionally good for this.)
We start by imitating the styles of others. That kind of mimicry – conscious or not – is like a trapdoor opening beneath you.
It drops you into yourself.
It’s when you lose yourself that your true voice slowly and steadily comes out of the dark. It might be raw and stark and naked. Or howling and slightly mad. Your soul is stamped all the way through it.
Your words on the page and your soul on the line.
Finding your voice – what to say, how to say it, how to speak up in the world – is about making your soul manifest. When you’re moving in the grooves of that soulprint, you know it. And so do others.
This is art."
