An outline allows a writer to categorize the main points, to organize the paragraphs into an order that makes sense, and to make sure that each paragraph/idea can be fully developed.
Brainstorming is trying to come up with as many spontaneous ideas as possible.
There are four major stages of the writing process:
Prewriting, the first stage, is where the author gathers information and ideas. It involves brainstorming, taking notes, preparing an outline, etc.
Drafting is the second stage of the writing process in which the author puts their ideas on paper. This is the first attempt at writing what will eventually become the final product.
Revising, the third stage, is where the author reviews and makes changes to their message in order to better reach the audience.
Proofreading, the fourth stage of the writing process, means that the author goes over their writing to check for grammatical errors or ambiguous sentences.
Referencing sources, which the author does during the whole writing process. When an author refers to their resources, it can be to help with planning, clarify an idea, or pull a direct quote/visual from the reference to cite in his/her own paper.
