There are three main phases in my workplace writing workshops and seminars:
- PreWrite – Plan what you write.
- WriteRight – Write what you planned.
- ReWrite – Rewrite what you planned to make it better.
Today, let’s discuss the third – and often overlooked phase – ReWrite. To do that, we’ll assume you thoroughly planned your email or document and wrote it effectively. Since your readers will never see your first draft, you only need to be concerned with your final draft. And if your first draft is your final draft, you miss out on the opportunity to make it better and increase the probability your will accomplish your communication objectives.
