What is a drafting?

it is a text that, in general, every author composes as an approximation to the document that he
wishes to prepare; such as an article, a letter, an instruction or an essay.

The draft process: writing and editing

Prewriting

Prewriting is anything you do before writing a draft of your document. It includes thinking, taking
notes, talking with others, generating ideas, outlining, and gathering information. Although
prewriting is the first activity you do, generating ideas is an activity that occurs throughout the
writing process. During prewriting, a writer will choose a manageable topic, identify a purpose and
audience, compose a sentence that expresses the main idea of the piece, gather information
about the topic, and begin to organize the information.

Examples of prewriting

Examples of prewriting include brainstorming, freewriting, and questions. Many people find it
helpful to use a form planner or graphic organizer to organize their thoughts during the prewriting
process.

The second step of the writing process involves drafting. During writing, the writer translates his
ideas into complete thoughts, such as sentences and paragraphs. The writer organizes his ideas in
a way that allows the reader to understand his message. It does this by focusing on what ideas or
themes to include in the writing. During writing, the writer will compose an introduction to the
piece and develop a conclusion to the material. By the end of this step in the writing process, the
author will have completed a "draft."

Writing: the process

The writing process of a writing begins with an analysis of the pre-writing. The author should use
their pre-writing notes to determine the focus of the piece. This may involve narrowing the focus
of the topic and perhaps identifying a purpose for the article.
Purpose

Once you've chosen a topic, you need to identify a purpose for the essay. For example, if the
writing was intended to be informational, you might choose to write about working dogs, your
purpose being to impart information. Any information that is not related to the topic and its
purpose should be removed from the prewriting.

Introduction

The author begins writing by composing an introduction to the piece. The purpose of the
introduction is not only to expose the topic of the article, but also to draw the reader into the
writing.

Body

A young writer will compose the body of a piece of writing by including detailed sentences related
to the topic sentence. An older author should organize their writing into paragraphs. Each
paragraph should include its own topic sentence. Smooth transitions between paragraphs are
important for creating cohesive writing, no matter what the topic.

Conclusion

A writer must complete a draft by composing a conclusion. The purpose of a conclusion is to wrap
up the writing by connecting all related thoughts and ideas.

Edition

Upon finalizing a draft, the writer must first edit their work. Editing is an ongoing process, not a
one-time event. When an author edits their work, they are reviewing the piece for errors. These
are usually spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and formatting errors (paragraph indentation,
etc.). This is a time to work on creating polished writing that makes the author proud. The author
should be reminded that they will need to edit their work at least two more times. You'll edit
before composing a final copy, and then use the same process to review your final product.
