Universal Writing Process

Phase 1: Understand

Before writing, clarify:

Audience

- Who reads this? What do they know?

Purpose

- Inform, persuade, entertain, or inspire?

Constraints

- Word count, tone, format requirements?

Success criteria

- What makes this piece successful?

Phase 2: Structure

Create an outline before drafting:

1. Hook/Opening - Grab attention

2. Context - Set the stage

3. Main content - Deliver value

- Point A with support

- Point B with support

- Point C with support

4. Conclusion - Synthesize and call to action

Phase 3: Draft

Write freely without self-editing:

First draft is discovery

- Find what you're really saying

Momentum over perfection

- Keep moving forward

Mark uncertainties

- Use [TODO] or [CHECK] placeholders

Write the easy parts first

- Build confidence

Phase 4: Revise

Systematic revision passes:

Structure pass

- Does the logic flow?

Clarity pass

- Is each sentence clear?

Voice pass

- Is the tone consistent?

Trim pass

- Cut unnecessary words

Polish pass

- Refine word choices

Phase 5: Finalize
