     Writing a well developed essay is a process which takes many steps. In the textbook From Inquiry to Academic Writing they offer a process which will help you write an exceptional essay. I have taken some of the steps that the textbook offers and applied it to my own writing. For instance I start by annotating the material I read and try to search for some common themes. Once I put together some themes I try to come up with an arguable thesis statement. I then begin to come up with main points to create the body of my essay. Each main point I try to use examples and then tie them into my thesis some how. The writing process in From Inquiry to Academic Writing is an effective process and really helps me when I am outlining my essay.
