CHOICES WRITERS MAKE


Many of the authors we have talked to have shared a variety of strategies and it rarely means following the same path each time they create fiction or non-fiction text. So we have re-defined the term ‘writing process’ to ‘choices writers make’ in order to best represent experiences of published authors.

These cards are not designed to be followed in a straight line or a circular process, rather they are designed to be moved, revisited and juggled around according to an individual writer’s needs.


What choices will you make as a writer?

Go through the cards and use the whiteboard or printable worksheet below to develop your own writing process.

  • Click on the stickers and drag them around to show the order of choices you think you will make as a writer. 
  • Use the drawing and editing and text tools to make notes about your choices. 
  • Once you have started writing, reflect and recheck your choices.
  • Move your stickers and add notes to keep track of your writing choices. 
  • You may even discover new or different choices you make as a writer.
