My Writing Process

When I write something down, I first make an outline about what I am going to say. If the paper is a fomal, I usually think of main ideas first, and then sub-points. If the paper is not a formal, I just come up with many ideas in my head, and state them in a correct order.
After making an outline, placing the ideas and thoughts in a nice order is next. I learned from middle school and high school that there are three stages in most papers, which are introduction, body, and conclusion.
For introduction,I usually state brirefly what I am going to talk about and overall topic. And the body paragraph is where my thoughts and whole ideas are stated in detail. In conclusion, I sum up what I state in body paragraphs and finish up with a clincher.
