PUBLISHING
PREWRITING

First
stage of the writing process is prewriting.
Prewriting means coming up with an idea!

Ideas and Inspiration


Ideas are all around you. If you want to write but you don’t have
any ideas, try.
Writing about incidents from your daily life, or childhood.
Keeping a NOTEBOOK OF IDEAS– jotting down those
thoughts that occur throughout the day.
Creating a vivid character, and then writing about him/her.
BUILDING ON YOUR IDEA

These are a couple of popular methods you can use to


add flesh to the bones of your idea.

Free writing: Open a new document or start a new


page, and write everything that comes into your head
about your chosen topic. Don’t stop to edit, even if you
make mistakes.

Brainstorming: Write the idea or topic in the center of


your page. Jot down ideas that arise from it – sub-
topics or directions you could take with the article.
PLANNING AND STRUCTURE

Some pieces of writing will require more planning than


others. Typically, longer pieces and academic papers
need a lot of thought at this stage.
First, decide which ideas you’ll use.

Then, decide how to order those ideas.

 Try to have a logical progression.


WRITING

Start your first draft.

At this stage, don’t think about word-count, grammar,


spelling and punctuation.

Don’t worry if you’ve gone off-topic, or if some


sections of your plan don’t fit too well.
SOME THINGS THAT MANY WRITERS
FIND HELPFUL WHEN WORKING ON
THE FIRST DRAFT INCLUDE:
Setting aside at least thirty minutes to
concentrate: it’s hard to establish a writing flow if
you’re just snatching a few minutes here and there.

Going somewhere without interruptions: a library


or coffee shop can work well, if you don’t have
anywhere quiet to write at home.

Writing requires concentration and energy. If you’re a


new writer, don’t try to write for hours without stopping.
Instead, give yourself a time limit (like thirty minutes)
REVISING

Revising your work is about making “big


picture” changes.

The revision stage is sometimes summed


up with the A.R.R.R. (Adding, Rearranging,
Removing, Replacing) approach.
EDITING
Editing involves the close-up view of individual
sentences and words.

Itneeds to be done after you’ve made revisions


on a big scale or else you could agonize over a
perfect sentence, only to end up cutting that
whole paragraph from your piece.
PUBLISHING

The final step of the writing process is publishing.

This means different things depending on the piece


you’re working on.

The five stages of the writing process are a


framework for writing well and easily.
