Key ideas
Different forms (essay, story, letter, script) suit different messages.
Inquiry supplies the raw material a writer turns into ideas.
Social media reaches wide audiences quickly and often permanently.
The form a writer chooses shapes how meaning reaches the reader.
Gathered information sparks angles, questions, and claims.
Watch out for
- Writing every piece in the same default form.
- Starting to write before gathering any information.
- Treating a social post as private or temporary.
