The writing process is different for every person and for every writing type, but there are common steps that are important to practice. Generally, the writing process consists of:
- Prewriting (the early planning stages often as mindmapping, brainstorming, freewriting)
- Organizing (developing logical order)
- Drafting (creating the paper and demonstrating the recursive or “circling back” nature of writing)
- Revising (conforming to Standard Edited English and style formatting, such as MLA and APA, for most academic writing)
- Publishing (the final version that is submitted)
For this assignment, you will create a summary of the writing process from a proficient writer’s perspective in a Google Doc.
