1. 1) The Writing Process: An Overview Many people think that being a writer means putting pencil to paper or fingers to keyboard and just beginning to write. But that is not true. Writing is actually a series of steps, or a process. Every writer goes through the same process no matter what he or she is writing. A news paper writer, a novelist, a technical writer and a student all go through the same steps to make their writing clear, informative, easy to read, and enjoyable.

The writing process consists of five steps: prewriting, drafting, revising, editing/proofreading, and publishing.
