If you were absent:

What is "The Writing Process"?  

The Writing Process
Prewriting
Drafting
Revising
Editing
Publishing

This looks really good, but actually revising should come before editing! Do you know way? 

This is something like my dream spot to write -- a cabin on a lake in the mountains.

To help your writing:  Here is a huge list of adjectives!  http://www.momswhothink.com/reading/list-of-adjectives.html#Adjectives List
