Define the Purpose of Your Writing. Establishing a purpose for putting words down on paper is a good way to get started. As nice as it would be to just start writing and have the words flow into something that is remotely marketable, in reality, it doesnât often happen that way. Setting goals and identifying a purpose for the document helps to establish a direction and shape the content. Most people write in response to a specific circumstance. It determines the direction and the audience for the document. It will also influence the subject, style, and organization.
