Empowering Writing Subject

This paper discusses the empowerment of learning to write. The topic was chosen because until now (and in the future), the writing skills of our students are still far from expectations. Students have very little publication of literary works or mass media writings because they find it difficult to produce writings even at a simple level. In fact, the estuary of learning Indonesian is language skills (especially writing). Why are students less/unskilled in writing? One answer is the lack of frequency of writing. What efforts need to be made to minimize these deficiencies or incompetence? In this regard, this paper is necessary. The focus of this study is on empowering learning to write. The experience of the author who has fostered learning to write for a dozen years has also enriched the analysis of the problems raised. With such discussion, it is hoped that this paper will be one of the solutions to the weaknesses of our students in writing.
