The Writing Process | Advanced (C-Level)
Table of Contents
Writing is a process. Effective writers go through stages from the moment they come up with an idea for writing to the moment they publish the final product.
Even highly experienced writers go through these stages even though they may unaware of it. That is because the process is a logical sequence of events.

A problem many novice writers often run into is skipping over steps in the process. They believe they can get things done faster if they just “jump right into it” and start writing. They end up taking longer, getting frustrated, and producing poor work.
