The idea
Drafting is putting your ideas into sentences and paragraphs, and a first draft exists to be revised.
In practice
With strong prewriting and revision habits, drafting becomes a smaller part of the process, and writers often discover their real point while drafting.
Where people slip
Stopping to fix every comma while drafting interrupts the thinking; fix sentences later.
