The Writing Process

One of the most important concepts to understand about the Writing Process is that it is NOT linear; it is recursive.

This means that it is not a step by step process that authors follow in order to create a published piece of writing.

Rather, it is a process that loops back over and over until the author finds his/her writing to be complete.

Revise - the reworking stage!

- Take a break after you draft!- Reread your writing, checking for something different each time:

- introduction- topic sentence- enough details- clear organization- transitions- sentence variety- closing

- Use techniques to add, cut, move, or reorder- Get help from your peer group!
