more lower-frequency words, than oral texts.
1. Concept of Writing
The most important invention in human is writing. Writing allows us to share our communication with other people. It permits people from the near and
far distant past to speak us. It begins a significantly by concept of writing. Conceptual writing doesnt really have much to do with mathematics,
philosophy, or any other mental discipline. The mathematics used by most writers is simple arithmetic or simple number systems. The philosophy of the work is
implicit in the work and it is not an illustration of any system of philosophy. A Conceptual writing is good only when the idea is good.
In conceptual writing the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an author uses a conceptual form of writing, it means that all of
the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. Conceptual writing is not necessarily logical. The logic of a
piece or series of pieces is a device that is used at times, only to be ruined. Conceptual writing is planning of writing; Planning activities occur throughout
the entire writing process, Flower and Hayes 1981 identify three planning activities that we address in our research: generating ideas, organizing, and goal
setting

. Idea generation is based on those ideas that can be retrieved or generated from stored knowledge in long-term memory, or from accessing external,
provided or selected sources, and even from the social environment.
2. Writing Process
Learning to write is like learning to read. Both follow a sequential process. Writing requires and combines of more basic skills than any other subject

area. The writing process begins in the early grades by exposing students to a variety of quality books read aloud.
This process entails several stages, such as “rehearsing, drafting, and revising” Murray 1980:4-5

, these stages interact together and repeatedly in order to discover meaning. Writing viewed from this perspective is the process of
exploring one’s thoughts and learning from the act of writing itself what these thoughts are.
The writing process approach recognizes that there are many stages to writing, there are three kinds of writing process
8
: a.
Preparing to write Most writing requires some preparation, how long we spend on this
preparation, and what we do, largely depends on reader, purposes, the contents and the writing situation.
b. Drafting
The drafting stage is where we really begin writing. The most important thing here is to get words into paper. It is not the time to worry about spelling,
grammar, punctuation or the best wording. c.
Revising The revising is most important stage in the writing process. Revising might
take place while we are drafting or after we have finished a draft. It involves checking that our content and purpose are clear and appropriate for the reader, in
the particular writing situation.
