Plan and write
Writing the first draft - getting started
- To get started it is OK to write freely. You can focus on the conventions of academic writing and use of academic language later.
- Use headings from plan to stay on topic.
- Begin with any paragraph.
- Introductions and conclusions are often written after the body.
