We're all familiar with writing a draft. Just be sure to exploit a variety of other strategies in between and along with drafting.
Many inexperienced writers produce only one draft and do nothing else.
Early drafts are usually freewritten, becoming more formlized as revision progresses. Expect to have a number of drafts for most writing tasks. Number your drafts and save them in your document folder. You may need to refer to them later. If you work primarily on a word processor, print a hard copy draft after you've made significant changes.
