These are the last five tips in regards to the writer preparing him/herself for the manuscript at hand... How to get your thoughts in order and what resources will help:

e) Akin to needs and language is learning your readers’ values. What speaks to their ideals? Know it – and you’ll acquire a loyal following.

f) Three outlines to follow when writing your information: 1) Past…Present…Future, 2) Problem…Solution, and 3) Point….Reason…Example…Summary.

g) These formats work well when formulating your thoughts in response to an impromptu question. We called these Table Topics in Toastmasters.

h) As a writer with much expertise to share, these formats provide focus; helping to ensure you do not give too much or too little information.

i) Key resources to keep nearby when writing: a thorough dictionary, a thesaurus, a style reference manual – a Scrabble dictionary is good too.

The next groupings of tips will deal with the content of the writings.

Kind regards…
