The Writing Process

The Writing Process Template
The writing process can be overwhelming at times. But it doesn't always have to be. To make your life smooth, I've created this all-in-one template that you can copy and fill up. I trust this helps you as much as it has helped me.
Who is this template for?
Whether you're working on your personal blog or you're writing professionally full-time. Whether you're writing a research paper that you want to submit or writing the first draft of your soon-to-be-published book. If you're into writing in some shape or form, this template is for you.
How to use this template?
This all-in-one writing process template is meant to have all the information you require for your write-up in one place. The sections in this template enable you to organize all this information and keep your headspace neat and tidy. Using this template is as easy as adding post-its in sections available. Let's take a look at each section individually.
Topic: Start by adding post-it notes describing the idea and intention for your write-up. It's essential that you have clarity on the topic of your write-up before going into any further details. Note, this isn't the title of your write-up so you don't have to worry about it being perfect at this stage.
Deadline: If you're working towards a deadline, add the date here. Having the deadline written down in a very visible spot helps remind you to focus on writing and not procrastinate.
To-Do board: While working on a writing project, it's absolutely normal to think of these little steps that need to be done in order to reach a milestone. This inline to-do board allows you to have these tasks placed within the same viewpoint. Start by adding post-its in the backlog column, move it to the in-progress column when you're working on it, and finally, move it to the done column once you've completed that task.
Research: You might need to do some research for your write-up and it's key that you have all your research information handy. Use the references section to capture links to websites you use as reference, and use the user interviews section to capture notes from your interview with relevant people.
Title: Use this section to add suitable titles for your write-up. Once you've added a couple of them here, you should find it very easy to compare and pick one.
Subtitle: Similar to the title section, use this space to write a subtitle for your write-up, should you need one.
Images: A picture is worth a thousand words, so you should definitely indulge in imagery for your write-up. Add suitable images in this space along with the source for these images. You can then choose to add all of these images into your write-up or select a few only.
Tags/keywords: Quite a few online platforms ask you to add tags or keywords for your articles or blog posts. This helps the platform to perform a better search and increase the visibility of your write-up. Use this space to add relevant tags or keywords.
Feedback: Getting feedback on your write-up before publishing is a great way to improve your writing and ensure that your potential readers will receive your write-up well. Use the received section to capture all your feedback notes. Then, as your process through this list, either move the note to the incorporated section if you've accepted and implemented this feedback or move the note to the discarded section if you feel the feedback received isn't relevant or you'd like to do without it. Don't forget to type in a reason for discarding feedback so you don't lose context when you revisit this board in the future.
Publish: Every write-up needs to be published somewhere. Use this space to add some notes around where you'd like your write-up to be published and also outline any prerequisite steps that might be required before publishing.
Promote: Finally, it's time to promote your write-up. Use this space to keep a checklist of all the mediums you're planning to promote, digital or otherwise. There are so many accounts, groups and platforms out there these days, so I trust this section will help you keep tabs on them all. That's it! A comprehensive, all-in-one writing process template for you in Miro.
