Answer
English Written Assignment 7
The pre-writing stage of the writing process is commonly considered the most important part of the writing process. This is because it is indeed the point at which the author generates as many ideas as possible before penning them down. The significance of this process has been made apparent in my eyes as a result of the numerous research experiences that I have come to encounter. During the pre-writing process, an author is often entangled in many challenges which double up as learning opportunities.
The biggest challenge I faced was transitioning from the pre-writing stage to the drafting stage. This is because I felt like I needed to have the complete skeleton in mind before I could commence the writing process. I, however, started making good use of the free-writing method so as to alleviate this challenge. I also had trouble with organizing my ideas logically. This challenge was alleviated when I incorporated the art of outlining
What I still feel I need to work on as the process unfolds is the art of converting numerous incomplete ideas into one solid idea. At the point of research and brainstorming, it is often difficult to let go of certain ideas which (though may seem novelty) are not consistent with the objective of the write-up. Similarly, it may be difficult to identify compatible points and consequently, merge them so as to meet the said objective of the writing process. In light of this, I feel I need to cultivate the art of converting numerous incomplete ideas into one solid idea.
A significant helpful strategy that I learnt from the text is outlining. This was learned from the Guide to formal writing as provided by the Central Michigan University. I learned that outlining ensures that throughout the writing process, a writer does not divert from the pre-conceived goals of the paper. It also ensures that the respective hypothesis is comprehensively proven.

The past century has hosted tremendous advancement in technology and the convenience of this movement has particularly been seen in the field of medicine. This has meant that the modern woman is presented with a wide variety of options that can serve to prevent conception. Despite the fact that technological advancement has been recorded, the clandestine use of abortion as a form of birth control still persists (Williams & Pullum, 1975). This practice is particularly prevalent because individuals take advantage of the legalization of abortion to engage in it as a form of birth control. In light of this, an unborn child ought to be regarded as a protected class. It follows that if the basic right of a certain class of people is not respected, the entire human race is in danger (Donnelly & Whelan, 2018). It is, therefore, imperative that appropriate steps are taken to ensure that abortion is not used as a regular form of birth control.

Abortion as a Regular Form of Birth Control
The practice of abortion dates back to the medieval times when individuals hailing from various cultures adopted non-surgical ways of ejecting a fetus from a woman’s womb (Reagan, 1997). It has, however, become noteworthy that the practice has tremendously increased over the past several decades (Williams & Pullum, 1975). This is as a result of the discovery of the surgical medium of abortion and the legalization (in part or otherwise) of abortion in various jurisdictions. Abortion has in fact come to be used as a regular form of birth control; at a time when numerous other options are available. This paper will present arguments in favor of the statutory illegalization of abortion as a regular form of birth control.
The use of abortion as a regular form of birth control is highly ironical. In the present age, technological advancement has meant that women are able to acquire information on their body types and blood groups (Burkman et al., 1991). This information consequently serves to provide a woman with the requisite knowledge on the best modality to utilize so as to prevent conception (Burkman et al., 1991). This resultantly means that the modern woman has the option of preventing conception in the first place. Abortion should, in such a case, only be chosen as a last resort and not as an equally viable option.
Instead of leveraging the modern-day advantages to prevent conception, many women make use of the availability of abortion services as a form of birth control (O'Connell et al., 2008). These women can verily be described as modern women. Based on data provided by the National Abortion Federation, approximately 60% of women who engage in abortion have a college education, whereas about 88% hail from metropolitan areas (O'Connell et al., 2008). This means that the aforementioned knowledge on modalities of preventing conception are available to them. Instead of taking appropriate measures to prevent conception, a substantial percentage of the aforementioned women use abortion as a regular form of birth control.

Learning the art and skill of writing is by far one of the most important assets you can ever utilize in your life. The skill has enabled you to communicate with various people at different times. It has also given you the chance to be heard at forums that you would not have been heard (but for the skill). It is, therefore, important that you take the necessary steps to not only guard the skill, but to also nurture it so that you can move on to the discovery of the boundless limits.
The significance of the art and skill of writing has particularly been made apparent to you during the academic research and writing process. In this season you have learnt that academic papers are structured in form and they advocate for the use of a formal tone. Argumentative research papers have particularly demanded the presentation of formidable fronts which are duly supported by evidence. In line with this, the importance of proper citation has also been seen. Numerous other lessons have also been learnt in this season. It is important that all the lessons are put into practice through continuous usage.
