When I sit down and put words on paper or type into my computer, that aspect of creating a text (like a novel or software manual) is called "writing": I store the content of my text in letters. But when I plan what I want to write, develop my "story", construct the plot, or research the facts, I'm not yet actually _writing_ my novel or news article. **What is the superordinate term for that non-writing aspect of a writer's work?** The best term I found is "narrative", but that denotes what you create, not the process of creating it. I need a term not for the object that you work on, but for the work you do.
