Are you a successful writer?

The question “Are you a successful writer?” is vitally important for a successful writing process. It is meant to inform first—but often to entertain as well. The writing process draws on information from your own experience, and from other sources, too—books, films, interviews, etc.—integrating, synthesizing and making connections that might not be apparent to everyone, and then reshaping the whole to give it meaning and relevance for a particular audience.

From your most successful writing piece, the reader should learn something new without having any trouble in paying attention to the topic, message of your paper. You may give basic information (the who, what, when, where, why or how of the subject) or enliven it by fitting examples or anecdotes. As a successful writer you should show enough knowledge of the topic to choose information in an order that makes it both knowledgeable and confident. This encourages a kind of trust on the part of the reader, who feels in good hands taking the writer’s word of how things are.

Assess your own writing competence. If some terms are unfamiliar to you, use a dictionary, consult your teacher.
