It's a question creatives are constantly-asked...
Alan Dean Foster, whose prodigious output includes the novelization of Star Wars (and the in-between-SW & ESB novel Splinter of the Minds Eye) and the Star Trek Logs (which adapted the scripts of the Star Trek animated series), along with the plot for Star Trek the Motion Picture (far different from the final film), as well as hundreds of his own novels, novelettes, novellas, and short stories gives us an idea of the process in this never-reprinted piece from Andromeda/Silver Snail Publications' Andromeda #6 (1979)...which was an all-Foster scripted issue!
The illustration by Paul Rivoche is of a gigantic futuristic typewriter, the primary word processing device of the dark ages of the pre-PC era!
Interestingly, it's a manual, not electric, typewriter, which was the standard by that point!
