Selzer visited and oberserved Nelson at work while also interviewed him extensively to analyze his writing habits by using Emig's "Research on Composing" methods. Nelson plans and arranges his writing more than he ever revises, a more unconventional way; and is done so according to his audience's wants and needs. Outlines are extremely important to Nelson's writing. He drafts at his desk using a pen and paper, and sometimes consults fellow colleagues or the library for added background information. Nelson seldom reconsiders any of his writing and every sentence is put forth with confidence. He writes alone and and arranges the content very carefully with a short but important revision process.
