The document outlines a 3-step writing process of prewriting, writing, and revising. It emphasizes making writing concise, reader-focused, and purposeful. The prewriting stage involves analyzing the purpose and audience, as well as researching and organizing. The writing stage is when composing and drafting occur. Finally, the revising stage focuses on editing, proofreading, and evaluating to improve the work based on the intended receiver. Short messages may condense the process, but good writers still consider each step. When writing with teams, members work together during prewriting and revising, but separately during the writing stage. The goal is to create effective, audience-centered communication.
