When you get to hear someone say, "I don't know how to write an essay!," he or she is lying.

At some points in our lives, whether we admit it or not, we've written a lot of essays. We may not have submitted those essays to our teachers in school, but we've given those pieces of writing to our parents, siblings, children, and friends--in form of letters.

So why many people still find essay writing a "scary thing"—to the extent that they seek the help of an essay writer, writing service firms or buy essay just to have a fine one?

Why buy essay or avail the services of an essay writer and writing service firms, when you can do it on your own?

You just have to follow basic rules about essay writing, and here are some of them:

Start the process of essay writing by doing a research—this will help you to become an expert essay writer. Resources for writing an essay or essays abound: various Web sites over the Internet, academic-related databases as well as public libraries, you just have to use them. Jot down notes and widen your vocabulary--to improve your reading speed as well--when researching for an essay topic.

After doing a research, begin analyzing the lines of reasoning or arguments of all the essays that you are reading. Identify the claims, take down all the reasons as well as the evidence. The key to learning the ABCs of essay writing is being able to analyze essays penned by any essay writer.

Ask yourself questions and then answer them: Come up with brilliant ideas to write about in your essay or essays—brainstorm is the word. Then choose the best idea and identify it in such a way that you can really write an essay about it—it's difficult to write an essay without a clear thesis.

Outline your essay first before striking that pen. A skilled essay writer usually highlights points to explain what each of his paragraph will have.

Most readers look at the title of an essay first, then either read its entirety or make up their minds, and so it is essential to have a very powerful introduction—it should catch attention, set the mood of your writing and show the way to your thesis. A good essay writer can convey the message to readers as if he or she's in front of them.

A powerful essay introduction must also be accompanied by a strong conclusion. It can be a call to action, twist of logic or a quotation from a notable person. However, all quotations or borrowed ideas should be properly cited or given credit in some parts of your essay.

Lastly, don't forget to proofread your written essay or essays. Give importance to the small details—spelling, punctuations, grammar usage, etc. These little things determine an essay's strengths and weaknesses.

Writing an essay is as easy as inscribing your name on a piece—it doesn't have to be a grueling task nor involve so much trial and error.
