Writing is not a task where you just jump into writing your own thoughts directly in your paper. It is something where the writer needs to do some decision-making which includes planning and organizing your piece for a better and faster work that needs to be done.
In the field of writing, although it has a lot of processes that a writer needs to take up, you have to be prepared on the pre-writing stage first. There are so many task that you need to do in the pre-writing process before you could start writing your own piece down. You might not going to believe it but this is true. Pre-writing allows you to make your writing task in an easier and manageable way which provides you good results when you�re done writing it.
What do you do to prepare for a writing assignment? Do you dive in and research the topic? Would plot the concept first base on the information that you had gathered? If you are not that sure on how to make things run smoothly, follow these guides below that you will use later on in your pre-writing process:
Brainstorming. I like brainstorming potential reader�s questions the moment I receive a writing assignment. That�s because it�s those questions that will eventually drive the contents of the piece. I consider this part relatively easy. Just pretend you know (or don�t know, whichever the case may be) as much about the subject as your potential readers and you should be able to approximate the questions they�ll have.
You can also participate with the discussions even if you know or you don�t know something about the assignment. Ask some help with form your friends, family or a group of person whom you can trust on to and have your ideas discuss something about the topic. It is important that you ask relevant questions with your assignment which can make the whole group think creatively and for them to realize also on what to do next and what�s best for your assignment.
Decide Early. Narrow the focus of your research quickly based on the questions you come up with. The core of your research should answer the question, �What�s this story really about?�
Be Willing To Change. One of the most important purposes of the pre-writing phase is to find the heart of the piece. What�s the single most dominant impression is it supposed to leave the readers? If you find, during the research, that the area you�re focusing on doesn�t accomplish this, be willing to change.
Standard Questions
Some potential reader questions you will want to answer during this phase include:
� What�s the news about this?
� What�s new to learn here?
� Why am I reading this?
� What makes this important?
Ready Your Tools
Get your writing tools (grammar software, thesaurus, etc) handy during the preparation, so you can write without being interrupted by logistical concerns. Similarly, make sure that your notes and research are in order.
