When it comes to writing, people are always quick to label themselves as "good writers" or "bad writers."  They base their assumptions on the products of their writing:  term papers; work memos; creative pieces.  But what many people do not consider is that writing, like physical fitness, is a lifelong process, which can be improved or worsened over time, depending on how often a person "exercises" one's writing ability.  This book provides a balanced regimen for getting one's writing "in shape" and learning to improve one's skills to stay in shape for a lifetime.  This book is designed for readers who need a comprehensive, but carefully paced,  review of the basics of writing--essays, paragraphs, and sentences.  A balanced approach focuses on both the writing process and product, and composition and grammar skill development.  Grammar is treated as an integral part of the editing stage of the writing process rather than in isolation. Numerous writing models from people in various stages of development provide accessible examples.  Instructors of writing and anyone interested in improving their basic writing skills.
