Chapter 1 Summary
Chapter One Getting Started gets us familiar with the idea's and ways to research and write topics with confidence. It's a how to guide on critical thinking and what steps may benefit us while doing different genre's of writing. The first step to any process is getting started. When starting a project we need to get the creative ideas flowing just like the title of the chapter suggests. The different strategies Chapter One points out to get the mind flowing and something down on paper are processes such as recognizing your need to commit to the project, brainstorming, and analyzing your audience. First and foremost the writer should choose a topic that he/she can invest time in and care about if possible. If the topic cannot be chosen and it is assigned, the writer should use ways of understanding and developing a position for that particular topic so he/she actually cares for it. This will make writing and researching much less tedious. After you understand and develop a position for your topic, brainstorming the topic and analyzing who will be reading it is very critical to get your position across successfully. The chapter gives you multiple ways of achieving these goals. Some of the ways Chapter One suggests is creating timelines, teaching you multiple writing processes, and ways to analyze your readers.
