The first important thing to remember about a narrative essay is that it tells a story. The author may write about. 1  an experience or event from his or her past. 2  a recent or an ongoing experience or event. 3  something that happened to somebody else, such as a parent or a grandparent.
The drafting phase of the writing process entails the actual composing of the text. During this phase, writers use prewriting activities to generate a piece of writing in rough form.
The Post-writing phase refers to each draft, not to one final submission. 1  Revise: i.e. review your text with a view to altering, amending and improving the entire message.  Edit: i.e. prepare the draft by checking your style, word choice, and grammar.
