What are five steps of the writing process?

The first step in the writing process is to determine what you want to write. This is called "Pre-writing". Second, is to begin writing. Some use outlines or note cards, while others dive right into writing the project without any aids. The third step is to look at the writing you have produced and begin to whip it into shape. This is called "Revision". Fourth is the editing step. This is when the writer dots all the I's,, crosses all the T's and makes sure the text is readable. The fifth and final step is publishing. The manuscript is ready to officially become a book and become available to the public.
