How to grade writing

I need help- 2nd year teacher. I never really "learned" how to grade writing. What I did last year was made writing specific rubrics, reviewed them with the students prior to the writing assignment, gave each student a copy, and then graded off of that.
Unfortunately, my school schedule doesn't really allow for a ww format- I feel like my students aren't always getting authentic writing time, however, I am planning on having more experiences this year for that- where there are more options.
Anyhow, is this how you usually grade writing? Thanks!
