    Planning styles

    Planning writers

    make detailed notes

    use notes to create an

    outline of possible content

    write a first draft according

    to the plan

    Generative writers

    gather ideas from reading

    and some use of notes

    begin to write early in

    order to generate ideas

    write the first draft quickly

    and structures it as ideas

    occur

    Write early, write often

    Beginning early makes the final task much moremanageable

    Writing is a craft that has to be practiced

    Revision is easier than filling a blank page

    Expressing your thoughts and ideas in words can

    enhance their development

    They tell you who the gatekeepers are (journal editorial

    boards). They show you examples of what they have published in

    the past (every article in the journal).
