From an initial idea or purpose to a finished piece ready to be shared with an audience, the writing process is a winding and creative road. Every kind of writing and every kind of writer use the stages of the writing process, though not always in the same way or in the same order.
From fiction to nonfiction, short stories to poems to memoirs, creative and narrative writing often stem from writers' imaginations or personal interests, weaving together believable characters, settings, and plots.
