RE: What Are Writing Skills?

[Tony Markos <ajmarkos -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Bonnie:

Thanks for the response.  You are correct: I seek to
idenfity the essential processes - and the specific
steps within those processes (along with technques)-
that define writing skills.

I have been researching on structured writing simply
because several others have told me that that's the
"meat" of writing skills.

I will devote time to research on the specific steps
of rhetoric.

Thanks,

Tony Markatos
