Writing process

A writing process is a set of mental and physical steps that someone takes to create any type of text. Almost always, these activities require inscription equipment, either digital or physical: chisels, pencils, brushes, chalk, dyes, keyboards, touchscreens, or pens, with each of these tools having unique affordances that influence writers' workflows. Writing processes are very individualized and task-specific, frequently involving activities such as talking, drawing, reading, and browsing. Additionally, pre-writing strategies may involve processes that are not usually associated with writing, such as clustering; free writing; and asking who, what, when, where, why, and how questions.
