Tools for writing

Writing can be easy to do, but that does not mean the writing you do is gonna be good. A good tool to use is planning. Everything starts with planning, that is where you get all your good ideas. One thing I read in the textbook was organization, essay structure and length. My problem is I tend to either write to long paragraphs or I write to short of paragraphs. The outline of my paper tends to be mixed around. I may not have all my ideas in order and I may write about more than one idea in a paragraph which can get confusing. But using an outline like in the textbook, would really help. Writing out an outline can help me organize all my ideas and put my thoughts where they belong. The textbook talks about good guidelines for writing a good essay. Think about the topic first, consider audience, outline essay, write and edit, get feedback which is most important, proofread and correct and write your final draft. As long as I keep those in mind, I believe I will write a very good paper.

  1. Good work! Can you bring in some quotations from the textbook to expand your ideas and illustrate your observations (and bring the length of your post up to 200 words)?
