Writing a Draft

when writing a paper, no matter what the subject is, the draft is one of the most important steps in order to get a good result.
Always have in mind that the draft is not the finish product, it is just a guide or idea to finish the product with good results; that is why it is important to mange the time you put into the writing of the draft, most of the times what comes to your mine at first is better than if you think it many times, remember you just need the main idea no the entire full well develop paper.
A second think to have in mind at all times is your audience, when writing do it in the perspective of the reader, this will allow the reader understand easier the concept or the point that you are trying to get across. Don't forget that there is more than one reader, many times the paper are going to be read by a diversity of persons all of them with different knowledge on the subject, one more reason to think about the possible readers of your paper and the difference between them, this way will be easier to develop a more clear paper.
One more thing to consider during the drafting process is the purpose of the paper you are writing. When you when you identify the purpose it can be easier to get your point across to the reader.
Establishing the voice is key in order to get the attention necessary from the readers, most of the time the purpose will identify the right voice.
At last but not least are the openings and closings of you paper; crafting the right opening is key to get the audience to read the rest of the paper, is the opening is not strong enough or if has not attraction the reader will not get trough the rest of the paper. The closure is as important as the opening, most people will remember most of the closure of what they read and are more likely to be receptive to the message if it is reinforce in a persuasive way at the closure of the paper.
