The Writing Process
In this chapter, you will learn about the steps of the writing process. These steps include what to do before you write (prewriting), how to write your first version (drafting), and how to improve your writing after it’s written (revising and editing). The writing process may look a little different depending on the type of writing task you are doing.
Think about the writing process as a very flexible process. Whenever you write something, you will usually do many of the same steps, but not always in the same way. The way you use the writing process depends on a lot of things: the task, the time and resources available, your experience with the topic, etc. The advice here is meant as general advice that you can adapt to your situation.
