MORE ABOUT THIS SERIES
A process implies that you must take a series of actions, work systematically, to achieve your goal. It could be a simple paragraph, blog post, email, or college essay. Many ESL and non-ESL students know about but don't use the process. They go straight to the writing stage. Increase your chance of writing effectively; follow the writing process. Without the writing process, you may need to rewrite portions of your work, get off-topic, have to start over, or lack coherence. The series of simple steps guide you from the time you are still thinking about ideas for writing (and your idea may be too broad or too narrow) all the way to the end when you polish your work. "Think Stage:" when you define your idea for writing. You ensure your ideas are manageable. "Write Stage:" you actually write your coherent, well organized introduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs. In the concluding paragraph, you put all your ideas together and present final considerations without introducing new supporting ideas. "Polish Stage:" the final two steps you take. You ensure your ideas are presented the best way. You make sure the mechanics of writing are in place: you check your spelling, grammar and punctuation, and style. First, you revise your work; you focus on the ideas only. There are techniques to check your sentences and paragraphs for clarity. Then you edit your work so there are no spelling mistakes, grammar and punctuation problems, and style issues that could detract from the content. Relying on a grammar checker or a spell checker can be a big mistake. Grammar and spell checkers are useful tools, but they do not always catch all problems, and sometimes they see a problem where there is none. Ultimately, you need to decide what is correct and incorrect, or appropriate and inappropriate in your writing. This writing series gives you tips on formatting, citing sources to avoid plagiarism, and finalizing your work. Without the writing process, writing can be difficult and frustrating.
