The Writing Process (to the best of my understanding) consists of 5 steps:

Prewriting Research, notetaking, brainstorming, outlining, ....

Drafting Writing

Revising Adding, Removing, Moving, Changing major parts such as whole sentences, paragraphs or chapters

Editing checking grammar, spelling, punctuation, captilization, ...

Publishing Make the work public in some way


Do you use any of this process in your writing?

If so, which parts do you use? How do you use them? How do they help you to be an effective writer?

If not, which parts don't you use? Why do you find them unhelpful? What do you do instead?

I'm halfway in the drafting stage - still writing. I'm kind of apprehensive about the editing, though. With this story I've kind of made it up as I go along, so really every thing I've wrote before I 'discover' a certain plot point is a bit... outdated. Most parts probably don't need that much changing, but the whole beginning probably needs rewriting. And I don't even know how it's going to end yet! Not to mention correcting all the typos and bad sentences. hide.gif

Maybe it's best not to think about editing until after the story is finished. lol.gif
