Writing

WRITING. Effective writing is quality writing. To achieve this, analyze your writing for two characteristics: content and form, in other words what you write and how you write it. Writing without form is like a human body without skeleton, writing without content is like a skeleton with no flesh ( Mt.Edgecumbe ).If you want your ideas to be clearly and accurately understood, both characteristics must be present in you writing. The writing process consists of the following steps: 1. pre writing, 2. Organizing, 3. writing, 4. revising, 5. editing, 6. writing the final draft after several revisions.

•PREWRITING: is brainstorming. The purpose is to create as many ideas related to the subject as possible, as quickly as possible Examples of brainstorming are listing, fast writing, spidering, and mapping.

•ORGANIZING: is selecting an opinion about the subject, choosing enough of the right type of detail from the prewrite and adding when needed, and crating an order for those details and fitting them into the form.

•WRITING:is simply following the shaping of the form and posting the fragments into complete sentences and adding when needed.

•REVISING: is adding and deleting information, changing the order of the details and forms, and looking for major mechanical errors.

•EDITING: is checking the writing for basic writing errors, like spelling, punctuation marks, and grammar.

•WRITING THE FINAL DRAFT:is the last step in writing when you are finally satisfied with what you have written after several revisions.
