The Writing Process

Faigely, The Brief Penguin Handbook

While presented here in neat and orderly steps, the writing process is actually a fluid and changing experience. In other words, each step of the writing process can move you forward to completing a piece of writing or backward in terms of rethinking, reshaping, and revising that piece of writing. Don't be afraid to let the process take you back to the beginning. The more you know about each formal step of the writing process, the greater your ability to make decisions about the way you approach writing and revision.

It is crucial that you understand the important stages that come before and after you write your first draft.
