how to plan your writing,

Jump straight to Grammar:

Correct grammar, punctuation and spelling

are key in written communications. The

reader will form an opinion of you, the

author, based on both the content and

presentation, and errors are likely to leadthem to form a negative impression.

Do not assume that spelling and grammarcheckers will identify all mistakes as many

incorrect words can indeed be spelt

correctly (for example, when their is usedinstead of there or principle instead of

principal) or entire words may be

missing. If at all possible, take a break

before re-reading and checking your writing

as you are more likely to notice problems

when you read it fresh.

What Is the Difference Between a

Good Writer and a Bad Writer?

Don't Expect It to Be Easy: you know

what, it is so funny. A good writer will

always find it very hard to fill a single page.A bad writer will always find it easy.

Master the Fundamentals: The first is that

good writing consists of mastering the

fundamentals (vocabulary,grammar, the

elements ofstyle) and then filling the third

level of your toolbox with the right

instruments.

The second is that while it is impossible to

make a competent writer out of a bad writer,

and while it is equally impossible to make agreat writer out of a good one, it is possible,

with lots of hard work, dedication, and

timely help, to make a good writer out of amerely competent one.

Say What You Think

A bad writer is a writer who always says

more than he thinks. A good writer--andhere we must be careful if we wish to arrive

at any real insight--is a writer who does not

say more than he thinks

Reach for the Best Word: It is the misuse

and overuse ofvogue words that the good

writer must guard against. . . . It is

extraordinary how often you will find vogue

words accompanied in the same sentence by

pretentiousness or sloppiness or other signsof sickness.

Order Your Words

The difference between a good and a badwriter is shown by the order of his words as

much as by the selection of them.

The ABCs of Writing(1 of 4)

Writing aims to capture a thought oridea, to transfer it to a permanentformat, making it tangible.

The responsibility for that transferfalling squarely on the writersshoulder.

If communication is the ultimate goal,

write for your audience, not forpersonal style.

Verbal communication is aided bynonverbal cues, like hand movementsand facial expressions.

Writing has to be much clearer thanspoken language because it lacksthese assisting cues.

Objective, factually-based writing isstronger and more persuasive thanwriting that relies on opinion andhearsay.

There is always more to say about atopic.

Good writing is composed of many

ideas, all connected by a singlepurpose (e.g. a thesis statement).

Every sentence should relate to the

central goal of the paper.
