välikirjoitukset

Välikirjoitukset is a Finnish term that translates roughly to "interventions" or "mid-writing actions" and refers to activities that occur during the writing process but are not the direct act of composing sentences or paragraphs. These actions are often crucial for improving the quality and effectiveness of the final written piece.

Examples of välikirjoitukset include planning and outlining the structure of the text, researching information to support arguments, drafting different versions or parts of the text, revising and editing for clarity and coherence, and proofreading for errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. It can also encompass seeking feedback from others, conducting self-reflection on the writing process, and making strategic decisions about tone, audience, and purpose.

These activities are distinct from the linear production of text. They often involve stepping back from the immediate writing task to analyze, evaluate, and refine the work. Effective välikirjoitukset can transform a rough draft into a polished and impactful piece of writing. The specific nature and extent of välikirjoitukset can vary greatly depending on the type of writing, the writer's experience, and the goals of the project.
