Writing Process Tips

From Way With Words

When planning your writing project, consider two factors:

What is the Purpose of Your Writing Project?

  • Are you summarizing information for the Planning Board or District Council, informing the public, offering solutions to a problem or pursuing another objective?
  • Knowing the answer to this question will guide your choice of words, tone, and the project's length.
  • For instance, decide if a formal tone is necessary or if a less formal approach will suffice, provided it remains professional and, where necessary, authoritative.
