Writing Development Techniques


            I’ve used multiple strategies for development in my writing. I often start with a pre-write in outline form. Then I use my outline to decide how I want to structure my paper. My outline is usually detailed in a way that I can reference it throughout my entire essay. I quickly scribble down a very rough draft and take a short break. Then I go through and organize my thoughts in to clear, intelligent sentences. I then restructure everything. I separate my paper in to paragraphs and then add commentary. I make sure that I have all the ideas that I want to include and go from there.
            Another successful development technique that I have used is rewriting a rough draft on the same subject and taking out the best ideas of both. Development has come easy to me because I work hard on my pre-writes. Once that is taken care of I am able to just sort of spill it out. Everyone has his or her own techniques for development and I am always looking for new ones. It is the part of my writing that needs the most work and I am constantly working on improving it.
