The 3 elements of generic structure are used in writing a procedure text. However, not all procedure text is written strictly through that generic structure. If some element is considered unimportant, then they can be omitted.

How to Write a Novel as Example of Procedure Text
A novel is long story. It is a good way to tell the story in detail but it is a big challenge to make the reader stay engaged to the last word. If you want to write a novel, here is how to do it.
1. Grasp the idea for your novel and choose your writing style
2. Draw the basic plot of how each chapter would be. Each chapter should has its own strength but connect to each other smoothly.
3. Decide whether you want to use prolog and/or epilog. Prolog supposes to be short but very powerful in building curiosity of the reader while epilog is short yet powerful to leave memory to reader.
4. Decide the characters and their personality
5. Start writing your novel based on the plot you made. You can change the plot in the middle of writing but make sure you not ruin the whole story. If you change the plot, you may need to change what you have written so far.
6. Maintain your focus and determination. If you get bored, take a bit rest and do something fun to bring your good mood back. Find back your willpower and write again.
7. Once you finish, read your novel, feel it, and find if any mistake on it. Fix your mistakes and read again until you find it perfect.

25.  Example of Procedure Text in Making Candles
Making coloured and scented candles is really quick and simple. What's more, you'll save so much money. If making candle is easy, why do you ever bought one from a shop? What you need in making candle are wax, moulds, wick, dye discs, essential oils, and a double boiler. All these materials are available from craft shops. Or if you do not want to buy them, you can improvise with an old saucepan, pyrex jug, or even a sturdy can, in a pot of water. After providing the materials, follow this procedure or instruction in making candles!

First of all, melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it bursting into flames, you must melt it in a double boiler, with water in the bottom pan.
Then, prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick through the mould and make sure that you leave a good few centimetres sticking out of the hole in the bottom.
After that, add the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a few drops of essential oil to the melted wax. You can use any essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't contain water.
Next step, pour the wax into the mould. Try and tip the wax into the mould quickly, all in one go, to minimise spillage and air bubbles.
Then, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will eventually make the candle sink, so you will need to top it up with more melted wax.
Finally, remove it from the mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken out of its mould.
Your candle is now ready for display. Remember, you must always leave it for a day before lighting it.

3. Cut a notch at each end of the sticks. Make it deep enough for the type of string you are using to fit in to. Cut a piece of string long enough to stretch all around the kite frame.
4. Lay the sail material flat and place the stick frame face down on top. Cut around it, leaving about 2-3cm for a margin. Fold these edges over and glue it down so that the material is tight.
