Writing is a process! Writing is a Process! Writing is a PROCESS!
Writing is a process because it consists of five separate stages. The stages are as follows:
1. Pre-writing-brainstorm, semantic maps, graphic organizer
2. Drafting- rough draft, outline
3. Revising-additions, deletions, sentence structure, adj., elaboration
4. Editing-check for sp. cap., punc.
5. Publishing- put it out there
In order to produce good quality writing a person must follow these stages in this order. Pre-writing allows to get your thoughts together, gather ideas, and take down opinions. Drafting is where you order the thoughts and write them out. Sometimes drafting can be repeated several times. Revising is when you go back through and add new sentences or take out what doesn't sound good. Elaboration can be added as well as adjectives to make your story juicy. In editing you check your spelling and punctuation, often times you might go back and forth between revising and editing. For revising and editing you can even have someone help you. Last is the publishing stage, here the final product is put together and presented.
In today's class we were able to start the process of writing a narrative, so far I have to revise some more and edit. Although its kind of korny you'll see it here!

Well, I agree that writing is a PROCESS. :) I think we pretty much took the same notes in class cause we both said basically the same things about the writing process and the five stages. However, I personally like the word "jot". It fits the action of short hand notes, especially the way I write them. But yeah, it is definitely to all our benefit to go throught the stages in order before sharing the final product with the world. I haven't read your published story yet but I am sure it is wonderful. See you in class.
