It is important to remember that writing is a process.  There are different activities that good writers do.

Pre-writing:  Pre-writing is what you do before you start writing.  For example, you think of ideas.

Organize:  Put your ideas into the order you want.

Write:  Write your ideas with complete sentences.

Proofread:  Read your writing.  Correct any errors you see such as spelling, grammar, or punctuation.

Make changes:  Editing is when you correct mistakes.  Revising is when you change your ideas or explain them more.  It is a good idea to get help with editing and revising.

Rewrite:  Write your sentences again with the new changes.

Share:  You give a final copy of your writing to other people so they can read it.  The copy can be paper or an electronic copy.
