Writing is a process!! No, but seriously it is. In order to have a good paper you need to do it in steps to make sure the reader understands what your writing about. Plus, you also want to keep the reader entertained so that they stay interested in your writing. 


There are 5 steps in the writing process:
1. Prewriting
2. Drafting
3. Revising
4. Editing
5 Publishing


Prewriting is putting your ideas down on paper. For example, making a list, creating a web or doing research.
Drafting is taking your ideas and writing the 1st draft of the paper, whether it is on paper or on the computer.
Revising is making changes to words and sentences. For example, adding or erasing ideas, and elaborating.
Editing is making grammatical changes. For example, adding or erasing punctuation and correcting grammar. 
Publishing is the final draft of the paper. You can print out the paper and put it in a binder or you can laminate it so that the paper does not get thrown away. You can do anything you want that shows you are proud of the hard work you put into writing a great paper.
