A writer needs to have all the writing materials- lists, diagrams, and outlines- close at hand when an intial draft is being written. Such planning materials will encourage the writer to keep writing. Include in the draft an introduction with thesis, body paragraphs with supporting details, and a conclusion. For most kinds of writing, an introduction announces a man idea, several body paragraphs develop it, and a conclusion drives it home. A writer can begin drafting, however, at any point. For example, if it is difficult to write an introduction first, save it for later and draft the body first. When finished with the first draft, proofread and edit much as possible. Once the first draft is complete and proofread, continue the writing process with the second draft and then the final.

===Don't Stop Writing=== | |||
Writer's block is less likely to happen if you keep writing. Also practice make perfect. Similar the brainstorming. Once you have started writing something that you like, even when you have passed the point where you don't think what you are writing is your best, keep on writing. A writer can always go back and edit later.[http://www.moniquepolak.com/writing-tips/tips-for-getting-started] | |||
