Here's a breakdown:
* "These steps" is a noun phrase.
* "brainstorming" is a gerund (a verb functioning as a noun).
* "to outline" is an infinitive.
* "rough draft" is a noun phrase.
* "writing" is a gerund.
* "revising" is a gerund.
The problem arises because you're trying to list actions (brainstorming, outlining, writing, revising) but using inconsistent grammatical forms. To fix it, you need to choose a consistent structure. Here are a few options:
1. All Gerunds:
* These steps include brainstorming, outlining, writing, and revising.
2. All Infinitives:
* These steps are to brainstorm, to outline, to write, and to revise.
3. Noun Phrases:
* These steps involve brainstorming, outlining, rough drafting, and revising.
The best choice will depend on the specific context and desired tone.
