Assignment: Short Essay

Writing is a process, and it doesn’t happen all at once. It takes time and often involves returning to earlier steps throughout the process. Many writers find themselves writing and thinking through their ideas multiple times. This is because writers discover ideas and learn more about what they want to say as they write. Each writer has her or his unique writing process: a way of prewriting, drafting, and revising. Some would also say that a writer’s process is different for each piece of writing. As you practice writing, you are also developing an understanding of your individual writing process.

Paying attention to this process can help you identify what you’ve done so that you can plan what you need to do next.
