| Writing high quality letters and reports is a long, drawn out and painful process for many people. It doesn't need to be like that however, because writing essays is a simple and straightforward process, provided you understand the main steps in the process, then focus on one step at a time. Writers who are trying to do two or more steps at the same time tend to sit at their desks for long periods, staring into space, or sucking the end of their pen, not knowing what to write next. The feeling is often described as a mental block.
To help you get a clear understanding of the writing skills we teach, here is an outline of the major stages in the writing process in some detail:
- The first step is to make sure that you have a clear idea about exactly what you are writing about. It is common for people to experience difficulty writing, because they have not thought about what they are trying to achieve.
- The next step is to do the appropriate research, so you can assemble the information to be analysed.
- The third step is to plan the order in which you are going to present your ideas, so that when you move onto the writing stage, you can write your piece quickly and easily.
- The final stage is to edit what you have written then present it as a properly formatted and typed document.
We provide practical training on all stages of the writing process. We can show you how to save
many hours of wasted effort, every year of your life from now on.
