Free Writing
Free writing is a simple process that is the basis for other discovery techniques. Basic free
writing follows these guidelines:
Write nonstop for a set period of time (1020 minutes).
Do not make corrections as you write.
Keep writing, even if you have to write something like, "I don't know what to write."
Write whatever comes into your mind.
Do not judge or censor what you are writing.
"Then free writing results in a mess?"

Yes, it certainly can. In fact, if your free writing is neat and coherent, you probably haven't
loosened up enough. However, remember that you can't fail in free writing. The point of
doing free writing is the process, not the end result. If you follow the guidelines, your free
writing is successful.
Free writing has these benefits:
It makes you more comfortable with the act of writing.
It helps you bypass the "inner critic" who tells you you can't write.
It can be a valve to release inner tensions.
It can help you discover things to write about.
It can indirectly improve your formal writing.
It can be fun.
Some final suggestions for free writing:
Use the writing tool that is most comfortable for you pencil, computer, or whatever.
Don't cross anything out: Write the new idea down; leave the old one.
Drop all punctuation. That can make your free writing faster and more fluent.
My approach to free writing derives from Peter Elbow's work, especially Writing with Power,
Oxford University Press, 1981, 1998.

Structure of an Essay: Introduction,

Body paragraphs, Conclusion
The creation of a professional essay requires a lot of knowledge form the writer, but the first
thing to know and to remember is the peculiarity of the essays structure. Each and every
essay is written according to a basic structure that does not change: introduction and the
body followed by a conclusion. The structure is the core of each paper that helps the writer to
make a very well founded written construct. In order to compose an essay accurately the way
it should be it is necessary to keep in mind the main hints concerning the contents of the
essay structure elements.
Basic essay structure
1. Introduction
o
Introduction of any essay should be no longer than 1/10 of its length. If the
essay itself must be of a significant size the introduction may have several
paragraphs; in the rest of the cases it consists of one solid paragraph.
The contents of an always introduction has a deductive nature, as it leads the

reader from the general views or positions on the analyzed topics to the
specific narrow theme of the essay.
Opening sentences introducing to the topic of the essay
Background information on it (gradually leading to the analyzed aspect of the

theme).
Literature techniques to grab the readers attention.
A strong Thesis statement defining and stating the point the author is making
in the essay, the papers main argument.
A good introduction requires several elements:

2. Body paragraphs
o
Body paragraph 1
Body paragraph 2
Body paragraph 3, etc.
The body of a basic essay may have as many body paragraphs as it is

necessary to prove the authors argument of the thesis statement.
It is vital to keep in mind that each paragraph is supposed to have one main
argument to analyze and has to reveal it in one solid thought in a sentence
called the topic sentence. Therefore the amount of the body paragraphs equals
the amount of topic sentences.
Each body paragraph must be connected to following one with a logical link.
o Conclusion
It is usually written in one solid paragraph.
The conclusion always deals with summing up the essays arguments revealed in the
topic sentences and the therefore present substantial evidence to prove the thesis
statement.
It is also important to mention the importance of the general conclusion of the essay.
It goes without saying that different types of essay may require certain deflections from the
basic essay structure. It order to get acquainted with them proceed to Types of essays:
How to write an essay

How can one write an essay? Everyone meeting the problem asks this question. Even if you
have already written an essay on any theme, a new theme becomes the same problem like for
the first time.
The "instructions" given here are general and are about How to Write 5-Paragraph essays,
Admission, How to Write Argumentative topics, Cause/Effect essays, Classification essays,
Comparison/Contrast, Critical, Deductive, Definition How to Write , Descriptive, Evaluation
essays, Exploratory, Expository, Instruction essays, Interview, Literary, Narrative,
Observation essays, How to Write Personal essays, Persuasive, Position, Reflection essay
topics.
1. Understand the essay topic
The main thing is to understand the theme, meanwhile, to understand the basis, but with a
deepened studying of the material on the theme chosen.
2. Decide what you are going to write about
Read the themes intercrossing the topic you have chosen. So you have to realize and
understand what you write about. The meaning saturation result and deepness of your text
completely depend on a complex review of information on the essay topic. Don't forget that
the more information you cover and the more you read the more interesting and meaningful
your final work is. Sure, reading and understanding do not end the matter.
3. Choose the key aspects of the question

One of the main moments of the essay writing is that most people skip is choosing the theme
aspects that should be shown. That means that due to their aim essay topic can be revealed
more, for your task is to show that you understand and know what you are writing about.
4. Make a thesis statement
It is not less important to be defined with thesis which will help and order the text of your
future essay. Theses allow to follow indissolubly to a logic chain of reasonings in essay, that
allows more consistently and to perceive qualitatively sense which the author wishes to
inform to the reader. It is not less significant to find the run-downs to help and form your
future essay text. The run-downs help to follow a logical reasoning chain in essay which
allows realizing successively the meaning that the author wants to get across.
5. Write down your ideas
Don't forget to write down your ideas while creating the run-downs. You will need them all
later. Thus, you create a structure and temporary plan of the essay (to be set during work).
6. Choose the type and style of the essay
It is necessary to be defined with type and style of the future work, as it radically influences
use of phrases, words and construction of offers in the text.
7. Structure your ideas as a plan
Ideas which have been written down by you, it is necessary to include all in the plan of text,
without change structure. I will repeat it once more: if only your work sticks to the previewed
plan you have a nice essay.
8. Study a material closely and consistently and spread out it on
items
It will help to avoid turmoil and will add confidence of sequence actions.
9. Stick to the essay structure
So you have prepared for writing the essay. Stick to the structure: introduction, text body and
conclusion. Reveal the theme in this very sequence.
10. Bibliography
During work, don't forget about the bibliography. It can either be set up much attention on,
and can be noticed in passing, using the key life moments only.
11. Read again and again
So, your essay is completed. Read it as many times as you can. Every reading reveals more
and more mistakes, pity that none can write without any mistakes. You have written, checked
and edited it.
12. Essay format

The text should certainly be edited - fonts to be aligned, commas to be deleted or added, the
very text style is o be edited and fudged to the whole text style for better work perception.
Smile Finally :)
As only you finish noting your mistakes and read it out - that means that your essay is ready!
Re-read it for the last time and smile - that's it, the final long-expected result.
