Writing is a process. Effective writers go through stages from the moment they come up with an idea for writing to the moment they publish the final product.

Even highly experienced writers go through these stages even though they may not be aware of it. That is because the process is a logical sequence of events.

 

A problem many novice writers often run into when they write is skipping over steps in the process. They believe they can get things done faster if they just jump into it and start writing. They end up taking longer, getting frustrated, and producing poor work.

Objectives

In this course, you will learn how to use the writing process to write paragraphs, passages, or essays. The process is divided into several shorter steps, which will be short lessons themselves.
