Ksenya's writing process

Writing a composition is not easy for me. All my composition’s work I divide into three parts. The first part is to collect all thoughts and make a draft of them. The second part is to determine the main and the most important thoughts and put them in order. The last part is a process of writing. The first and the most difficult step for me is to write an introduction. In this part of essay I try to show the main idea of my work and to mention all my ideas. In the body I develop each idea and try to explain why do I think so, and what does these ideas mean. The conclusion expresses my attitude to the theme and collect main theses of my composition. All these things I make in a draft variant. Then I reread all my composition, and if it is correct, in my opinion, I rewrite it. But if it is not right, I change it’s part, make corrections and write another draft. I repeat all this procedure, until I have the best variant.

Do you start with writing the introduction or leave it until the body takes shape?

Where do you take your examples from?

Give some specific examples that can illustrate what you have to do at each stage of composing something. Rely on your past experince and draw your examples from working on a piece of writing which turned out to be (quite) successful and the one which turned out to be the least successful.
