The Writing Process

Here are the basic steps of the writing process. Knowing these steps and following
them will help you become a better writer.

Step 1: Prewriting/Planning

First choose a topic. Then plan and organise what you are going
to write. You can use a mind map or graphic organiser to help you
plan and organise your ideas.

Step 2: Drafting

Write a rough draft of your ideas. Do not worry too much about
making mistakes. You can correct them later. Just write!

Step 3: Revising

Get other readers’ responses to what you have written. Make
revisions based on their comments and your own ideas to
improve your draft. Think about what to add, what to cut and what
to change.

Step 4: Proofreading/Editing

Read your revised draft carefully and look for mistakes in
grammar, spelling, capitalisation and punctuation. Correct any
mistakes that you find. Then get other readers to help you find
errors that you have missed.

Step 5: Publishing/Presenting 

Complete your final copy. Share it with others by publishing it or presenting it.
