Writing a topic sentence is one of the easiest things the author can do. This is until the writer begins to thing to over think the topic sentence and gets writers block. Though you must give it proper though, it's usually best to write what feels natural to the topic and later build the sentence after the entire paper is structured. In this manner you have the ability to build your subject rather then form the subject around your sentence. Students are told to write in such a manner that makes the topic sentence seem important. But the sentence alone wont save a paper from lack of substance. Meaning its better for an author to write the paper first and edit the topic sentence in such a manner that fits the paper.
