Part I: Business Writing Steps
Planning
Planning is effective when you analyze, pick the perfect medium, and gather the information. The key to planning successfully is to compile information what will satisfy the basic requirements of the audience. It is necessary that the correct medium is considered when planning to write a document. These tools are important to manage the information so that an effective message is presented.
Writing
Writing is the next step after planning the most effective way to connect with the audience. The cultural behavior and method of style of the audience will influence the structure of the writing, and therefore the composition of the message will be considered effective because of choice of words and sentence structure.
Revising
Revising will assist me in evaluating his or her words and making sure that the structure of the message is accepted by the target audience. The question is, “Will the delivery of the message be accepted.” To revise the written work, changes can be done to the structure of the sentences; correct grammar or adding more words to give a sentence a different tone. Examine whether the goal set for the document has being achieved.
Editing
Editing is the final step in the writing process. The format of a document is important, so making sure that the mechanics of the English Language are met, grammar, and the correct spelling can make a big difference in the delivery of the message to the receiver. Any changes implemented at this point can influence the direction of the message, and the writer can lose his or her audience.
