Kapierte das, aber kann ich ein Brief “schreibt”?
i.e. are verfassen and schreiben synonomous?

Sure, you can use “schreiben”. It’s just that “verfassen” is on a more eloquent and abstract level, meaning “to compose”, “to author”, or even “to prepare”, rather than focusing on putting it on paper. And “verfassen” and “Entwurf” usually go together.
