P r e – W r i t i n g S t a g e it is where the writer prepares everything which

he is going to generate ideas and formulates the foundations of the topic for written output.
The brainstormed ideas will be framed through outlining which will serve as the backbone or
blueprint indicating how the written output will look like. Here, the writer will be choosing a
topic of what he would like to write anything that would be from his own experiences since it is
a nonfiction work. Every detail should be organized as he is going to generate ideas. Example
of this is when the writer wanted to write something about a place that he went to and wanted
to promote it to its readers, as for the pre – writing stage what he will be researching about the
place or if the writer went there already then information can be first handed by him so that
he could present a complete knowledgeable data base for the readers.
D u r i n g W r i t i n g S t a g e i s when the writer put together all the
brainstormed ideas, thus focusing on the content rather than the structure. Since it is only
temporary, the writer would now organize all the details perceived to be relevant to the topic
and theme and develop
them. When writing, you must write freely and try to find the best way to communicate your
ideas. When putting all your generated ideas into paragraph, you should start by presenting
the text topic using a question, an appropriate quote, or a simple description that would lead
you to the discussion. Then from text topic we have the thesis statement wherein you are
going to tell your reader the significance of the narrative under discussion which is usually a
single sentence near the beginning of your narrative offering a way to understand it. In
presenting the content or the body, paragraph should present one idea or aspect of the general
topic and begin with a topic sentence that will orient the reader to what follows within the
paragraph. Provide as much as possible supporting sentences by means of using examples,
explanations, facts (trivia), opinions. Remember that in this part of the process, you should
not be too harsh on yourself and do not focus on fine nuances in meaning at this point.
Example, in a travelogue, the body should focus on what you wanted to show regarding the
place. Make sure that when you are presenting details it should be supported enough that the
readers will be able to understand it. Theme of what you are writing should also be developed
in this stage. It must be felt all throughout the writing process and it must not confuse the
readers. Make sure that what you reflected in your introduction and body will be totally in toto
reflected in the end part of your narrative, it should have a different way to present everything.
You may end it with a question or better a challenge for the readers.
P o s t – W r i t i n g S t a g e t his is the phase when inconsistencies that you
have written in the draft is being carefully checked and corrected in terms of its content and
mechanics. In this stage, the written text is shared with other audience, can be another
learner (peer) or a teacher. Your peer (another learner) will read your narrative if there is a
sense. Since there is a re – reading that will happen, your peer will eliminate fluff (unnecessary
or redundant details). Not only the fluffs will be eliminated or checked, even spellings,
vocabulary grammar are critically looked by another peer paying attention to content
organization and mechanics leading you to focus on the bigger picture of your draft (revision)
and on the finer details, making sure every word contributes precise meaning to your writing
subject.
