Here is what I've posted before about the steps in the writing process. Please read it through and let us know what you think.
--------------------------------
Follow the writing process, whether you're writing for science, history, English, or whatever:
Prewriting: Brainstorm, research, plan, outline, thesis statement
Writing: Write first draft by starting with section II of your outline; write the introduction after the body of the paper is written; write the conclusion last.
Polishing: Revise, concentrating first on the body of the paper, then the intro, then the concl (revision = making sure ideas are logical and sequential and support your thesis); proofread (spelling, grammar, usage, etc.)
Terry realizes that the draft of her memo announcing a new suggestion system mentions who will be evaluating the suggestions on both the first and second page, so she deletes the second reference and adds a little more to the first. What part of the writing process does this activity represent?
planning
writing
revising
editing

Oh, good.
Remember, it's just a process! The logical way in which you work through ideas and forms and end up with a finished written piece.
