    After prewriting, you’ll want to develop an initial draft that starts the writing. With this draft, you just want to aim to get some ideas down, not worry about spelling or grammar, and begin to organize your thoughts on paper. \u00a0This is a time for developing your thinking.<\/p>\n

    Once you develop this draft, take some time to reflect about the organization of your ideas by asking the following questions: how logical is my writing? are there any gaps in the development of ideas? is there repetition? does the paper flow easily?<\/p>\n

    You may also want to develop a Reverse Outline to assist you in checking the organization of your paper.<\/p>\n
