Guide
This
is
an
informal
guide
on
composing
any
kind
of
writing
in
the
workplace,
from
e-mails
to
memos
to
outside
communication.
There
are
three
steps
to
this
process:
Planning,
Writing,
and
Completing.
Remember
to
optimize
your
time
during
this
process.
About
half
of
your
time
should
be
committed
to
planning,
as
time
spent
there
can
significantly
lessen
the
amount
of
time
necessary
for
the
other
two
steps.
Planning
The
most
important
step
in
workplace
writing.
Time
spent
here
will
save
you
from
wasting
time
in
the
other
steps.
Again,
this
is
50%
of
your
time.
Writing
Now
that
you
have
a
plan
in
place.
begin
writing
the
actual
words
of
your
piece.
Keep
the
decisions
that
you
made
in
the
planning
phase
in
mind,
so
you
don't
have
to
go
back
and
redo
sections
of
writing
because
it
doesn't
fill
this
purpose.
Plans
are
not
absolute,
but
if
you
do
change
tracks
be
sure
to
reflect
that
in
your
plan.
sentence,
a
type
that
contains
two
clauses
where
at
least
one
has
a
subordinate
clause,
creating
a
combination
between
the
two.
Create
texture
to
your
writing
by
varying
the
types
of
sentences
you
use.
Remember
the
basic
elements
of
a
paragraph:
a
topic
sentence,
followed
by
supporting
evidence,
linked
together
by
transitions
that
show
how
ideas
are
related.
Revising
With
good
planning
this
step
doesn't
have
to
take
long,
but
it
can
be
hugely
important
in
creating
good
work.
