If you have done a good job planning your paper, writing the first draft should not be too difficult. You might start by expanding your outline to full sentences and then linking those sentences together with transitions. You do not need to start at the beginning and work your way to the end; Write in bits and pieces if that is easier and put it all together at the end. This will let you start with the part that is easiest for you, and if your start with a part you can write readily, the rest might come more effortlessly. Remember, your first draft is not supposed to be perfect. Do not worry about too much detail or not enough, or whether your spelling and grammar are perfect. You will have plenty of time to make changes as your revise and edit. Feel free to expand on your outline if you think it is necessary; remember the writing process is a cycle and you may need to revise your planning as you write your draft. There is more information about writing your draft in each of the sections on Organizational Strategies and Rhetorical Writing Devices. |
