Previously, the writing process seemed too complex for me because I struggled with too many ideas from which to choose. My writing lacked a logical flow, especially on topics that required presentation of an argument. For example, if I were told to argue against the legalization of abortion, I would only look for publications of authors who were against the issue. In the end, my conclusion would be tentative because of the one-sidedness. That means I would not have robust reasons to argue convincingly against the legalization of abortion; instead of arguing against ideas or positions, I would argue against people with opposing views.
From my writing experience, I learnt that there is always an audience, which needs to be convinced. Therefore, most of the writing exercises have to be done as objectively as possible. Personal opinions are always too limiting, and readers can always reject the work almost instantaneously because of the biasness. Secondly, the writing process begins with critical thinking; a writer needs to reflect and evaluate the specific topic he or she wants to write about. This is also the time one needs to brainstorm for ideas. When one is instructed to write about something, they are not told to write about their opinions; rather, it is a chance to evaluate what other people have written, and through critical thinking, evaluate the arguments and deduce a conclusion. Besides, topics usually vary, and sometimes, one is expected to pick a position. Nevertheless, it does not mean that one picks only sources that support his argument. Since readers want to be convinced, it is important to develop a multi-pronged approach; read sources with contrary opinions and based on evidence, present to the reader why the contrary views are wrong. Therefore, writing is a craft because one has to organize his ideas, thoughts, and processes to appeal to the audience.
