The Writing Process: Prewriting Drafting

The writing process involves prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. In prewriting, writers brainstorm ideas, choose a topic and purpose, and make an outline. During drafting, writers develop their outline into paragraphs, add details, and use transitions. In revising, writers ensure their ideas are in order, the writing makes sense, and sentences have variety. Editing involves checking capitalization, usage, punctuation, and spelling. Finally, in publishing, writers add a title, illustrations, and share their completed work.
