rules for writers chapter 2- 3 summary

Sometimes making a draft is not as easy as it sounds, although doing so completely takes you in the direction you want to go. For me drafting is a tool I use to gather all the information I need and categorize and organize information. Specifically, freewrites, outlines, ideas, lists and so on. I do not work very hard on the thesis idea at the beginning because I later will usually come across it in my draft of ideas. I start out a little broad and then try to narrow it down and focus on just a few ideas. these ideas usually run together and then I can easily decide on the thesis.
Hooking the reader in the intro is fun because here you can be a little more creative on how you will do that. Even so you may change your mind later and that is where revising your information comes in so you can first decide who are your readers, is your thesis really the focus of your paper or have you gone off on a tangent somewhere else. Presenting ideas in order to keep the reader involved and connected to the content of what the body is saying.
Proof read your paper and let someone else read it also. By doing this you are able to pick out statements that are to broad or offer no real information on your subject.
So engage, hook, main point and clear statements, and revisiting the topic in the summary in a new perspective will help with wrting.
