Planning Your Writing

It's okay to admit that when you have writing to do, you want it finished with as soon as is possible. This is the case for most of us. It's so very tempting to just launch straight into getting words down on the page (or the screen, as the case may be). When it comes to writing a document that you will be happy with though, I really can't stress enough the importance of planning. In fact, planning your writing will actually save you time when it comes to doing the writing.

There are three bonuses you will discover when you plan your writing:

1. Your document will make its point more obviously. If you don't plan, your ideas will stray from your intended purpose.

2. If you're writing to a word limit (which you will be if you are a student), planning ensures that you don't hit walls with your writing.

3. Lastly, planning helps you to organise your ideas into a clear order, which your reader will be able to follow easily.
