Write Your Speech Introduction Last for Creativity

This might sound insane to you but it’s better to write your introduction at the end of writing your speech. Writing your introduction first makes you take longer to write your speech.

If you follow my guide for writing an outline, then you’ll already know the direction in which your speech’s story will flow. As you adapt the outline into written paragraphs, more parts of your speech are uncovered. As you write these paragraphs you’ll write new arguments that weren’t in your outline. Each newly added idea or removed will change your speech’s story bit by bit.

When you finish writing your body, you’ll realize you’ll need to change your introduction. As you write more you’ll realize it always happens. Leave writing your introduction till the end of the process. It’ll make you a faster and more creative writer.
