Why Writing is Like a Good Meal

Writing is like a good meal because when you are making a good meal you must brainstorm what you would like to eat. When you write you must brainstorm what you want to write. After you brainstorm, you must prepare, organize, and plan your ingredients and cooking utensils. You must prepare, organize, and plan your ideas when you’re writing. Then great cooks would put things together to help them get started to get where they are going. Great writers would make what is called a rough draft to help them get to where they are going. Next, awesome cooks would decide on which big things would go better with their recipe. For example, if someone was making lasagna they might decide on which cheeses, sauces, or pastas they would like to use. Awesome writers would decide on which big things they want to focus on in their writing (revising). After that, extraordinary cooks will look for little details they want to change or improve on in their cooking. For example: herbs and spices. Extraordinary writers will look for little mistakes or things they want to change in spelling, grammar, and punctuation (editing). Phenomenal cooks will then put together their final recipe or dish and might right it down. Phenomenal writers will then put together their final piece of writing (publishing). Finally, other people will enjoy a cook’s meal by eating it. Other people will enjoy a writer’s piece of writing by reading it. Both of these thing scan change the way people see things because suppose someone might not like cheese. Once they taste a great cook’s lasagna they could fall in love with cheese. Writing could change someone’s mind because they might have an opinion about something but when they read your argument their opinion might change even if you change their mind just a little. That is how writing is like a good meal.
