Essay Writing

An essay can have many purposes, but the basic structure is the same no matter what. You may be writing an essay to argue for a particular point of view or to explain the steps necessary to complete a task.

Either way, your essay will have the same basic format.

If you follow a few simple steps, you will find that the essay almost writes itself. You will be responsible only for supplying ideas, which are the important part of the essay anyway.

Don't let the thought of putting pen to paper daunt you.

Get started!

These simple steps will guide you through the essay writing process:

Decide on your topic.
Prepare an outline or diagram of your ideas.
Write your thesis statement.
Write the body.

Write the main points.
Write the subpoints.
Elaborate on the subpoints.
Write the introduction.
Write the conclusion.
Add the finishing touches.
