      Section I – Pre-Writing

      Key 17: Editing and Proofreading. Many writers quip that good copy only results from stringent editing and proofreading.

      After completion of this book, you should be better prepared to communicate your ideas is writing and produce excellent texts for career success.

      SECTION I: Pre-Writing

      Key 1: Define Your Purpose

      Why are you writing?

      Have you ever sat down to type out a memo, email, or report and then just erase everything and start all over again?

      Stop wasting time!

      Take time to consider the purpose of your document in order to determine how you should express the message you wish to communicate.

      Obviously, you want the message to reach your audience, and you will probably want the reader to take some action in response to your message.

      So, what should you do?

      Write a purpose statement.

      This one writing tip can immediately impact your writing task.

      ***It works because a purpose statement...

      ***Is written first before you get deep into your message

      ***Directs your writing by creating an outline

      ***States the reason you’re writing in the first place

      ***Begins with the end (call to action) in mind

      ***Uses vivid verbs and concrete nouns

      Once you have this road map, you are read to create your document with confidence to communication your ideas or sell your product or service!

      Conclusion

      Before you type your first word, make sure you to construct a road map.

      Determine the objective of your writing by answering the helpful questions relayed above.

      Key 2: Know Your Audience

      After completion of this book, you should be better prepared to communicate your ideas is writing and produce excellent texts for career success.

      Audience analysis is essential in determining how you will structure your document.

      Knowing your audience helps you to make decisions...

      ***about what information you should include,

      ***how you should arrange that information,

      ***what kind of supporting details will be necessary for the reader to understand what you are presenting.

      ***about the tone and structure of the document. 

      Here are some simple questions when defining your audience:

      ***How do audience members rank within their organization?

      ***How familiar are audience members with your topic?

      ***What is the level of education of audience members?

      ***What kind of reaction to your message can you expect?

      ***Who is your primary audience?

      ***Does your document have multiple audiences?

      ***Always remember the WIIFM - What's In It For Me - Principle.

      In 1943, Abraham Maslow, a US psychologist, developed what has become known as the Maslow Pyramid, based on his paper, A Theory of Human Motivation.

      According to Maslow, humans have certain hierarchical needs though evidence is scant of this ordered nature of motivations.

      However, as long as your product or service can meet your reader's need or needs, the more your audience could tune into your message.

      Above all, human self-interest, Maslow's Pyramid or not, cannot be discounted, when preparing your document.

      What do you have to offer the reader?

      Make it obvious.  Humans, down deep inside, are motivated by self-interest.

      Communicate to the reader the exact interest you have in mind and you will better convey your message!

      Help your readers reach their self-actualization and your message will be better received.

      Conclusion

      After defining your objective, focus on your audience.

      Tailor your message to that group.

      Key 3: Cultivate Good Vocabulary and Word Choice

      The words you choose to include in your writing have profound impact on your reader.

      The right word (le mot juste in French) can make or break a sentence and leave your reader confused.

      Therefore, a strong word power and prudent word choice are indispensable.

      Good Vocabulary

      How strong is your word power?

      An advanced vocabulary is a sure path for success in both your personal and professional lives.

      However, developing a powerful lexicon requires a consistent, dedicated pace of acquiring, studying, and using your new words.

      Here are five (5) suggested ways to boost your vocabulary.

      1. Set your goal. Every new initiative should include a goal.

      How many words will you study a week? Which dictionary will you use to look up new terms? When will you know you have reached your goal?

      2. Read voraciously and widely. Seek out articles or reports outside your comfort zone.

      For example, if you are a marketing whiz, read news about travel, technology, and finances.

      The usatoday.com newspaper is a perfect place to start. In one spot, you can select to read about a number of different topics.

      While novels are entertaining, reading non-fiction like the news is preferable. Just think about the new ideas and information you will encounter!

      3. Record your new words in a vocabulary notebook. A methodical approach to acquire new terms also calls for an organized notebook.

      Write down unfamiliar terms while reading an article in your notebook.

      Try to understand the word without stopping to find its definition in a dictionary. You lose time that way.

      When you finish your reading material, then look up those puzzling words.

      4. Study word lists. Reading is the main way to build a lexicon.

      However, it is not the only way or maybe for you, not the best.

      Instead, you can study a vocabulary text with words organized by topics.
