Think Before You Write

There are plenty of books about writing, but most of them focus on grammar, usage, and style. They don't tell you how to plan, organize, outline-how to actually build-documents.This book fills that need by providing specific tools for writing documents in stages. You can use these tools to build books, manuals, and proposals as well as theses and term papers. The sooner you grasp the principles behind this method and start using the tools, the sooner you will master the writing process.It is often said that writing is a spontaneous release which is stied by too much thinking. This book says otherwise. It acknowledges that writing is a creative-a highly creative-process, but that spontaneity without strategy is almost always a weakness when it comes to writing.THINK BEFORE YOU WRITE book demonstrates that when you are denite about what you want to say and you have a strategy for saying it, you will be more condent and your writing will be more clear. You will gain command of your process and come to see writing in a new way.
