I'll list a few and you pick the ones you're looking for:
1. Finding a subject and a theme
2. Prewriting: write the first draft (without worrying about the next items); then, analyze your text and rewrite it as many times as necessary, according to items (3) through (14);
3. Paragraph writing: (A) topic-sentence (contains the main idea of the paragraph); (B) body (develops the idea in a few sentences); (C) conclusion (or partial conclusion) of the idea stated in (A);
4. transitions between paragraphs: (A) use transitional words or phrases (but, in addition, consequently, etc.); do not overuse them; (B) repeat a key-word or idea; (C) refer back to an idea stated in the previous paragraph;
5. choice of words: (A) use formal language (avoid slang, for example); [of course, it all depends on the type of text you're writing]; (B) be to the point (use precise words; avoid beating around the bush); (C) economy of words: for example, instead of saying, "of course this is due to the fact that" say simply, "certainly, the reason for this is that";
6. personal pronouns: watch out for words that refer to the author ("I" or "we"); choose one and use it from beginning to end (do not overuse either one);
7. antecedents (such as "they", "his", "ours", "this", etc.): check all of them to avoid ambiguity such as the following: Her mother told her that she had lost her shoes;
8. grammar: agreement between subject and verb; use of verb tenses; restrictive and non-restrictive clauses;
9. orthography: spelling, capitalization, etc.
10. punctuation: period, comma, semicolon, colon, dash, parentheses, quotation marks;
11. deduction vs. induction:
(A) deduction (in argumentative prose): thesis + examples (data, etc.);
(B) induction (in narratives): alternate between TELLING (the author provides background information, character analysis, etc.) and SHOWING (the author shows the characters in action, that is, communicating with each other);
12. sequence of events: one must lead to the other (coherence;cohesion);
13. main parts: introduction, body paragraphs, conclusion;
14. editing: after putting all your ideas on paper, check each of the items above to see if your ideas flow naturally.
That's it. Hope it helps.
