7. 1. Prewriting
Prewriting is the vital first stage of the writing process. As a
minimum, prewriting means coming up with an idea.
Ideas and inspiration
Ideas are around you. You can write about your daily life or
your inspiration.
Building on the idea
These are the methods of the building on the idea:
o Free writing: Open a new document or start a new page, and
write everything that comes into the head about the chosen
topic.
o Brainstorming: Write the idea or topic in the center of the
page.
