“First thoughts have tremendous energy,” says Natalie Goldberg in Writing Down The Bones. “It is the way the mind first flashes on something. The internal censor usually squelches them, so we generally live in the realm of second and third thoughts, thoughts on thoughts, twice and three times removed from the direct connection of the first, fresh flash… First thoughts are also unencumbered by ego, by that mechanism in us that tries to be in control, tries to prove the world is permanent and solid, enduring and logical. The world is not permanent, is ever changing and full of human suffering. So if you express something egoless, it is also full of energy because it is expressing the truth of the way things are.”

Essay Structure and Development
-
- Transitional adverbs (e.g., "First," "Then," "Finally")
- Transitional adjectives (e.g., "One . . . ," "Another . . . ,"
"The last . . .") - Transitional dependent clauses (e.g., "Not only does Gordimer attack racism, . .
.")
3. Topic Sentences should be developed in a parallel fashion.
Example:
Topic Sentence #1: First, Gordimer uses her skills as a writer to attack
Apartheid’s racism within its legal system and within its press.
Topic Sentence #2: Second, as a writer, Gordimer uses her trade to attack
Apartheid’s capitalistic exploitation of the working class in general and of the
black people specifically.
Note: "Parallel" does not mean "identical"; it means that there
should be sufficient similarity in the structure and representation of ideas to inform the
reader where you are in your overall plan of development.
4. Each Topic Sentence should be introduced by a transition.
-
3. Supporting Points should be developed in a parallel fashion.
Example:
Topic Sentence: First, Gordimer uses her skills as a writer to attack Apartheid’s
racism within its legal system and within its press.
Supporting Point #1: She has been an outspoken advocate of those who have been
oppressed by the government’s white laws.
Supporting Point #2: Furthermore, she has been a fierce opponent against the
suppression of information by the government’s white news.
4. Transition words should mark the movement from one Supporting Point to another.
