What is Writing?

1. What characteristics describe “good” writing?
I think that good writing has a strong voice. Without a voice, writing would become a textbook :/ and textbooks are incredibly boring. I like writing that has voice because it's interesting and it feels like someone (the main character in the book, or the speaker, or the author) is telling me a story. I also think good writing is organized. Without a good beginning or hook, a solid body, and a satisfying conclusion, the piece of writing would be a mess.

2. What is the process of writing?
The process of writing starts with pre-writing, which is organizing your ideas. Then comes the drafting, which is just writing down your first version of the writing. And then comes revision, which is when you fix the first draft into second and third drafts, making stuff like sentence fluency and organization better. Then you edit your writing for punctuation and grammar, and then finally you publish it (like a final draft). This process makes writing so much more organized, and it actually makes it better because you're revising and editing, when if you weren't using this process, you probably would've stopped at the first draft of it.
