This chapter explains about the writing process. It is broken down into steps on how to begin writing your first draft. Before you decide to start on your draft, you must plan ahead. Generate, and jot down ideas and where you will get your sources of information. Ideas can start from personal experiences, interviews, informative reading sources, and observations. Ask questions; what will the subject be about? Or what do you want to know more about? This is a great way to conduct the purpose for your writing and how to catch the reader’s attention.
It is important to know what you’re writing about and why the audience should be interested. The purpose of the writing can either be to persuade, entertain, inform, argue, and so on. Only the audience themselves can find your writing either useful or pointless, and whether it affects them in a positive or a negative way.
After collecting all your information, it is helpful to create and sketch an outline, which will organize your ideas and separate them in different paragraphs. After writing your draft, it is important to have your writing reviewed. Reviewers can help you edit your work and offer advice throughout your writing process. No writing is perfect the first time, which is why the editing process is critical prior to your final draft.
These simple steps are how I usually form my writing. I like to find my information sources from readings, and also from my own personal experiences as well as others. I will continue to use these steps because it’s the only way I know how to write a paper. I had a great English class in high school and have acquired many writing skills from it. It’s been so long I have forgotten so much, but at least I haven’t forgotten how to begin a first paragraph. I hope that the further more I read through these chapters, it will refresh my memories, and be better at writing.
