Default Writing Tips

I would like to start this thread of some of the writing tips that we can share to all:

1. Choose your topic & then narrow down your topic by having sub-topics that you can elaborate when you write. Also, write on the things you want to talk/write about that topic.

Any other tips?

Make sure that any reference material you get is the most recent you can obtain and that it is from a reliable source, check and double check.

During research mode, I keep one to three sentences on index card with the source noted in the corner. Then I can organize my thoughts into \"paragraphs\" by putting like cards together. It works great for reports and essays of all sizes, and it makes referencing a breeze.

That is a very good tip kelkat. I forgot all about doing that. I really does help to keep seperate piles for each of your major topics that way everything stays organized and isn't so hard to figure out if you have to walk away from it for a while.

Outlines work great for me.

Typically, I create \"bullets\" then take the bullets and arrange them into an outline. From there I can begin creating the paragraphs for my essay.

The index cards was a trick taught to me by a junior high teacher (advanced ed - she was a college professor before) and one I carried through to today. When I'm working on a project at work or anything that will be lots of pages, I tend to fall back to the index cards.

The significance of understanding the topic makes you understand what the supportive statements are and what the basic idea is.
