Examples: • The stage at which writers plan their writing is called the prewriting stage. • The stage at which writers get their ideas down on paper is called the drafting stage. • The stage at which writers change and correct errors in their writing is called the revising stage. • The final stage of the writing process, when writers share their final products, is called the publishing stage.
