The Writing Process

In class this week we learned about the writing process.  What an amazingly complicated process!  I don't think most of us consider all the different processes that are involved in writing.  As a non neuro person I am blown away by how the brain coordinates all the processes so that they all work together.   The fact that all these processes occur at the same time and, for the most part, without any conscious  input from the writer blows me away.  Any delay in development of, or deficit in, any of the processes can impair if not prevent a person's ability to communicate effectively in a written format.

Our second assignment was to create a diagram of the writing process based on a short piece of writing that we did.  Mine is based on the question how do you bbq the perfect steak?  As you will see from the diagram below whether you realize it or not, all of the writing process comes into play whenever you are writing.
