Draft, that's the verb I...

Submitted by Carmen (not verified) on November 14, 2006 - 9:52am.

Draft, that’s the verb I needed. One of my more frequent action is “write the report” but it has always sounded too big to me, even if writing is a phisical action. The correct action is “draft the report” and then “review the report”. Thanks again Merlin
