Notes on how to write a good Writing Inventory

Before starting a writing project, you should always take an inventory of what you already know. Then, you can add to this information with additional info that you have gathered from other sources, through reading, writing about your reading and research.
This building and adding is part of a process:

1. You articulate what you know
2. You learn to talk about writing with knowledge
3. You identify gaps in your knowledge and you fill these in , one at a time.
4. You learn to apply the above concepts and continuously add in small increments

Key: Good writing isn't about a product, it's about the process in place, which produces successful writing. (S. Brandon)
