Drafting

The stage of the writing process where you put your ideas down on paper and begin to write is called drafting.

You begin to write during the drafting stage of the writing process. This is the stage where you take your ideas from the prewriting stage and put them down on paper or type them out on a computer. The purpose of the drafting stage is to start forming your ideas into coherent sentences and paragraphs. At this stage, you do not need to worry too much about perfection or making sure everything is correct. The drafting stage is about getting your thoughts out of your head and onto the page. Once you have completed the drafting stage, you can move on to the next stages of the writing process, such as revising, editing, and proofreading, where you refine and polish your writing.
