Action is greater than writing. A good
man is a nobler object of contemplation
than a great author there are but two
things worth living for : to do what is
worth of being written and write what is
worthy of being read.Ross Perot
What is Pre-writing ?
As its name implies, prewriting is any writing you do
before you start writing. Sound confusing ? It’s not. we
all do little bit of thinking before we write. so why not
write some of that thinking down ? the fun of pre-
writing is that it really doesn’t matter. Pre-writing is a
time that you can use to expriment, jot down a few
quick ideas, to try out something new without having to
try hard, to take little time to gather your thoughts and
choose direction before you start drafting.
Drafting
The conventional meaning of the word « Drafting » is ,
and quote « A preliminary version of a plan,
document, a picture » But all that tells you that a draft
is something that isn’t finished.
What is sharing ?
sharing your work with other people and get
some feedback about how you’re doing. it is
better for you to share it several times long before
it’s done, so you have the chance to make
changes based on that comments you receive.
One thing that helps is to focus your audience on
something in particular that would like them to
respond to.
What is revising ?
The word « revision » literaly means « to see again »
This what revising is all about. Having received
comments about your pièce during the responding
stage, you can better see your writing now from the
reader’s point of view. it involves four distinctly
different things you often have to do at the same
time.
1- Adding things 2- Moving things 3-cutting things
4- leaving things alone.
What’s editing ?
Editing means many things to many people. But
here means only one thing : talking care of any
problems you have with writing conventions like
spelling, punctuation, grammar, and usage. You
can make minor changes to the content of your
piece. A word here, a phrase there.
What’s publishing ?
The word « Publish » might remind you of another
word you know. That word is « public » because
that’s what publishing is all about : preparing a
piece of writing so that it can be read, understood
and enjoyed by the public.
