The writing process helps a writer to coordinate his ideas and thoughts, as well as the data gathered to support these ideas, so that when put into a document, they can really achieve the writer´s goal, whatever this may be. This process consists of 7 steps, roughly and each step is designed to further help the writer organize his ideas and information so that the end product serves its purpose. The seven steps are as follows: Choice of topic, brainstorming, outlining (which is organizing all the data and information gathered on a topic in relation to the ideas the writer wants to place on the document), first draft, peer revision and revision of first draft by author and re-arranging depending on corrections and final draft and final proofreading to check for final errors. In this set of steps, creating webs, making lists and charts is part of the Outlining, which is literally the mapping that a writer makes to have a clear picture of what he has and how he will proceed in his writing, using his ideas and the data gathered.
