The Writing Process
One of the most important concepts to understand
about the Writing Process is that it is NOT linear; it
is recursive.
This means that it is not a step by step process
that authors follow in order to create a published
piece of writing.
Rather, it is a process that loops back over and
over until the author finds his/her writing to be
complete.
