How to Write in a group?

Writing in a Group is imparting Knowledge:

Prewriting meeting is necessary before the draft to start; to clarify assignments, deadlines and methods of drafting.

Clarify assignments and Deadlines:

To clarify it, we need to answer the following questions:

1. What is the sequence of the sections?
2. Must any section be completed before others can be started?
3. What is each person's writing assignment?
4. What is the deadline for each section?

Pay particular attention to deadline, if the work is due on June 1, and you one week to type and two weeks to revise, then the deadline for the drafting is May 09.

Select the method of Drafting:

Group can write in two ways:

• Each person write a section
• or one person write the entire document.

Generally, each person write a section, if the document is long and highly specialized but this way creates the issues like conflicts of style, format or tone.

To make the document more consistent and reliable; one person write the whole document, if it is short. But this method creates the ego issue of the writer, when revising stage reached.
