There are almost as many ways to write as there are kinds of texts． Some writers cannot produce a word unless they are poised behind a desk， while others prefer to write sitting outdoors or in noisy restaurants． Some writers create an entire work before going back to read what they have written， while others may rewrite a single paragraph many times before moving on． Individual writers' techniques may be different， but successful writers do have one thing in common； the writing process（步骤）． The writing process is made up of four stages， and each stage involves certain activities． The chart below summarizes what happens during each stage of the writing process．
