Abstract
The prewriting process consists of two components: brainstorming and outlining. Brainstorming allows the author to think randomly, covering the topic both deeply and widely; whereas outlining organizes and focuses those thoughts into a framework that can be explained clearly to others. This chapter describes the prewriting stage, leading up to, and including, the production of the first draft.
