The recursive writing process has five stages: planning, drafting, revising, editing, and formatting, but the process is not linear. Recursive means to re-write. Its use here indicates that various stages of the process overlap or are returned to as needed.  

Formatting is a stage that often overlaps with drafting because writers typically pause as they finish a draft to ensure that they have met format requirements. That is your task in this lesson.  

Formatting is important because it is part of your ethos as a writer. 

 A skilled college writer uses formatting to ensure that their work meets the assignment requirements but also that it has properly used source material as well. 

 For college instructors, a properly formatted work indicates a student that is motivated to produce a high-quality work by meeting the assignment requirements down to the details of correct formatting. 

 For readers, a properly formatted work indicates a conscientious and trustworthy author.
