Writing an introduction can become a nightmare even for an experienced writer. To tell the truth, I spent some time thinking before I started writing this article. It’s a normal situation. You get an assignment, and a topic is pretty easy. By saying easy I mean that you know what to write about in an essay paper. There are some thoughts in your head, and you are calm and ready…. But when it comes to writing an essay, a big “Oops!!!” pops ups. It seems like you know the problem, but what to start with? There is so much you want to tell, but this introduction writing just freaks you out.

Does this situation look familiar to you? Paulo Coelho, a world-famous Brazilian author, once confessed that sometimes it takes him days to start writing: “I wake up, drink coffee, open my notebook and wait…. Then a take walk, or do other ordinary things. In the evening I approach my notebook again. When I finally start writing, I can’t stop myself. I work late into the night, and before falling asleep I try to write down all the ideas to empty my head.” And these are the words of an experienced writer! So instead of whining and complaining, or, which is worse, feeling depressed, get to your essay writing! Here are some introduction writing tips for you.

First of all, it’s a common mistake that you should begin writing an essay from the introduction part. Skillful essay writers will tell you, that introduction writing can be the last thing you need to do. It’s better to explore the problem first. Get all the facts, thoughts and opinions together, evaluate them, put them in right places, and write a conclusion. If you do so, writing an introduction will be an easy job. You already know what you are talking about in your essay writing. It’s easy to make a little preview of the text in the introduction writing. Sometimes you state something in an Introduction (or don’t know what to state), and them start writing an essay and realize that you want to talk about different aspects of the issue, and you’ve got more facts on these, rather than those stated in an introduction writing. As a result, you have to start everything over again. Save your time and efforts by planning your essay writing.

The first thinking was triggered off by Michael Hart in the 1970`s. He reasoned that the greatest value of a computer should be not merely computing but also storing material, retrieving it and searching for knowledge kept in libraries. The birth of the ebook era started with the copy of Declaration of Independence. From these humble beginnings kicked off Project Gutenberg. Today there are 20,000 free texts and more than 100,000 books available. Each month 3,000,000 ebooks are downloaded - undoubtedly impressive figures in the history of ebooks.
