This is when you actually take the ideas you have been working on and organizing, and put them into writing.

*Remember...
REVISING is looking at the "big picture" parts of your writing like "Does the paragraph include transitions to make it flow well?" or "Does the hook get my attention and lead into the introduction?"
EDITING is looking at smaller details like grammar, usage, mechanics to polish your piece.
