The three main guidelines for writing are (1) use enough details, (2) follow a natural order, and (3) stick to your subject.
An outline is intended to be used a guide to assist you in writing your paper; it’s not meant to be read.
Think of all the things to see, and present them in the natural order in which you would look at them. Be sure you give the readers enough details to form a picture in their minds. Also, be sure you arrange the details in some order that can be easily followed.
If newspapers had been printed monthly instead of daily, The
Federalist Papers would have been less successful. The Federalist Papers had essays which were
printed in the newspapers, with three or four pieces of them each week. If they
were printed monthly instead, they wouldn’t be able to reach as much people.
