Here's a fast way to accomplish any writing task---
=> 1. What’s the task?
Ask yourself what you want your writing to do. Create a working title which defines the job: "A Summary Of Three Popular Diets"; "A Sales Flyer For Smother's Garden Center For A One-Day Sale"; "A Whodunit Featuring An Aboriginal Detective".
=> 2. Create the framework
Each piece of writing must be logical. Your reader will be asking: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. Answer the questions.
Lok at your working title, and make a list of points and ideas. For example, for "A Summary Of Three Popular Diets", you could list three major headings: (1) high protein (2) low-fat (3) calorie-counting. Then list sub-headings under these initial headings.
If you're creating the framework for a novel: "A Whodunit Featuring An Aboriginal Detective", you could list headings too. They might include: (1) the crime (2) the detective/ main character (3) conflict (4) red herrings (5) suspects.
=> 3. Write right now, research later
Write first, as soon as you've completed a framework. You can research after the first draft.
=> 4. Write the introduction
Write your intro when you've completed the first draft. Your intro is your hook, and you may change it half a dozen times before you complete your essay/ article/ book.
=> 5. What’s the takeaway?
What will your reader get out of what you're writing? Information? Entertainment? Highlight the takeaway.
=> 6. Have you covered everything?
This is where you ask yourself questions about the writing, trying to approach it the way a reader would.
=> 7. The final polish
This is where you can pretty it up. Focus on style. Use a dictionary. Work on the title.
This is an ultra-fast writing process you can use to write almost anything. Try it.
