WRITING

Early in the writing process you did some writing, remember? You freewrote or freespoke—fastwriting techniques that help you get your ideas on paper quickly—to find out what you knew about your topic. Well, now you’re going to do it all over again, only this time with the benefit of some notes on what you learned from others about the topic. This step of the writing process integrates what you know already with the information you’ve learned while hunting. In this chapter you’ll learn how to organize your notes, how to use your preliminary outline, how to refine your thesis, and how to write freely with new information.
