Introduction Writing well is one of the most important and essential skills an individual can possess. Regardless of your age or current field of interest or thoughts about a future career, you can rest assured that writing will be an important part of your education and your future. Effective communication is necessary for success, and writing is still one of the most important aspects of communication. Before we discuss your writing, let's consider the way a professional writer writes. Usually, a writer will write something, read it, change it so it is clearer, read it again, ask someone else to read it, make some more changes, and so on.
Writing is called a process , because it goes through such a series of changes.
We know from modern science that every human being is unique. Even though each writer is different, many follow a similar writing process, although the order of the steps can be as unique as the writer. In this process though, we can be sure that writers start with an idea and end up with a finished, polished piece of writing that they can share. This web quest is designed to introduce you to one possible way to approach the process of writing.
