What is Drafting?
Drafting is the stage of writing where ideas, outlines, and notes are turned into a structured text. It focuses on developing arguments, explanations, and evidence without worrying about perfection.
Purpose of Drafting
- Transform brainstormed ideas into coherent paragraphs.
- Develop logical flow and argument structure.
- Serve as the foundation for later revisions.
Drafting Process
- Start with an outline to maintain focus.
- Write continuously—don’t edit while drafting.
- Leave placeholders for missing information to fill in later.
Tips for Effective Drafting
- Set daily word goals to maintain momentum.
- Focus on clarity and content over grammar.
- Allow time between drafts for fresh perspective.
