A document in the workplace is "a moment in the continuous process of communication." What does a professional writer need to know and be able to do in order to participate effectively in this process?
Well, let's look at the question again. A "continuous process of communication" seems to be saying that communication is a thing that is constantly changing-you can never use the same methods to convey the same ideas twice. Why is this? Our reading said that the audience is always changing, as well as the situations in which we would find ourselves writing a said document. Whether you are writing to different people, or about a different concept, or using a different method of delivery, you have to take each of those factors into consideration-that communication and its means and its audience is never done changing.
A professional writer needs to understand this, and be able to roll with the punches. As a professional writer, you must be aware of the audience you are writing to and the situation that has born your topic, but also understand that you are trying to relay some message first and foremost.
If a document is merely a 'moment' in the process, it goes without saying that a professional writer must treat one document as a brick placed in a road-not the end all, continuously striving to perfect it, but also sturdy enough to lead the way to further communication.
