The ABC’s of Writing (1 of 4)
Writing aims to capture a thought or idea, to transfer it to a permanent format, making it tangible.
The responsibility for that transfer falling squarely on the writer’s shoulder.
If communication is the ultimate goal, write for your audience, not for personal style.

The ABC’s of Writing (2 of 4)
Verbal communication is aided by nonverbal cues, like hand movements and facial expressions.
Writing has to be much clearer than spoken language because it lacks these assisting cues.
Objective, factually-based writing is stronger and more persuasive than writing that relies on opinion and hearsay.

The ABC’s of Writing (3 of 4)
Any idea can be conveyed through writing. If you can think it, you can write it.
Great care is required to ensure that your message is accurately interpreted by its audience.
Nearly any statement can be shortened while retaining its full content; concise wording is less likely to be misinterpreted.

The ABC’s of Writing (4 of 4)
There is always more to say about a topic.
Good writing is composed of many ideas, all connected by a single purpose (e.g. a thesis statement).
Every sentence should relate to the central goal of the paper.
