* Specific Dialogue: While you might have a general idea of the conversations, crafting precise lines of dialogue is usually left for the writing phase. You'll likely focus on the *content* of conversations during prewriting, not the exact words.
* Detailed Setting Descriptions: Prewriting often involves brainstorming broad descriptions of settings (e.g., a bustling city street, a quiet cabin in the woods), but detailed sensory descriptions are usually added during the writing process.
* Exact Pacing and Structure: Prewriting might involve a loose outline, but the precise flow of the narrative, the timing of plot points, and the rhythm of the story are best developed during the writing itself.
* Exact Word Choice: Prewriting is about big-picture ideas. While you might consider the tone and style you want, specific word choice is usually decided upon during the writing and revision stages.
* Character Names: Prewriting might involve brainstorming general character types, but final names are often chosen later in the process, sometimes even during the writing itself.
It's important to note that these elements are not irrelevant during prewriting. You might have a general idea of the dialogue style or a feeling for the setting's atmosphere. However, they are usually developed in greater detail later on.
The prewriting stage is for laying the foundation: plot, characters, setting, conflict, and theme. The writing phase is where you build the actual house, adding the finishing touches, the paint, and the furniture.
