Writing is a process. Effective writers go through stages from the moment they have an idea for writing to the moment they publish their work. Even experienced writers go through these stages although they may not even even realize it.

A problem many novice writers often run into is skipping over steps in the process because they believe they can get things done faster; as a result, they end up taking longer, getting frustrated, and producing poor work.
