Definition of Writing Writing - The act or art of forming letters and characters on paper, wood, stone, or other material, for the purpose of recording the ideas which characters and words express, or of communicating them to others by visible signs.
Purpose of Writing
Persuasive - To persuade
Descriptive - To entertain
Expository/Informational - To inform (educate)
Narrative - To instruct
Imaginative/expressive - To express
Characteristics of Writing
1. Good writing has a clearly defined purpose.
2. It makes a clear point.
3. It supports that point with specific information.
4. The information is clearly connected and arranged.
5. The words are appropriate, and the sentences are clear, concise, emphatic, and correct.
Principles of Writing
1. Unity - Oneness in writing or the ability of a writer to come up with words that expresses a complete thought is what unity in words and thoughts is all about. A sentence is a unit of thought and has subject and verb articulated from the context. On the other hand, phrases or subordinate clauses shouldn't be used inaccurately and carelessly in a sentence. Neither should thoughts, incomplete ideas, and those that are not logically connected to the subject be put in the same sentence.
2. Coherence - Consistency or the ability of words to stick together as one complete thought is what coherence in writing articles is all about. It is a matter of stating and arranging parts of a piece in such a way that the relationship between them is comprehensible and clearly expressed.
3. Emphasis - At the beginning and end of a written piece. Therefore, something of genuine interest to your readers should be underscored or accentuated either at the beginning or end of your every article.
Stages of Writing
1. Pre-writing
2. Drafting
3. Revising
4. Editing
