BELDUA, TYNNY ROSE D.

Pecis Writing

Effective writing is all about communication, and if you want to communicate properly, your messages
must be clear and concise. This chapter will help you understand the basic aspects of effective writing.
By using the techniques in this book, your writing will become stronger. Your readers will also have more
confidence in you as a person, too.

Decisions need to be made before writing messages, depending on the plan of attack. It also needs a
strong start, middle, and end. As you learn the ins and outs of these key goals, you should also practice
certain troubleshooting skills to avoid typical errors that many authors make. Regardless of the
distinctions, any effective written message must address the fundamental questions of who, what,
when, where, why, and how. Don't stop there when you've written out your thoughts, either. Never
undervalue the importance of editing and proofreading your work because spellcheck won't solve all
your problems.
