My Free-Writing Process

Overall, I feel that both my quality of writing and writing process have improved over the course of the semester. This was important because in my first writing analysis statement at the beginning of the year, the two main things that I wanted to improve on were my quality and process. Throughout the semester, I learned to rely less on teacher comments and revisions and instead improve on my self-revision process, which was almost non-existent before I came to college.

Teachers, parents, and friends often tell students exactly what the writing process should entail and how long it should take. However, the older I get, the more I realize that the writing process varies not only from person to person, but also from one writing project to the next. Throughout my years of life, I have written countless papers, ranging from a persuasive speech to an extensive research paper, and each project requires an altered version of my personal writing process. While each individual has his own writing process, there can be many similarities between different writing processes. Finding one’s individual writing process takes trial, error, and repetition. When an individual finally uncovers his unique writing process, better thought, work, and writing is produced.

Those that write always have a writing process whether they know it or not. A writing process can be defined by the way an individual gears up for the project at hand. It can be as simple as finding a favorite chair to write in or the act of planning out the writing beforehand. My own personal writing process varies from task to task with a few constants. I generally start my writing process by first reconciling my project; figuring out the best way to express the needs of the work. I do not write down notes or an outline in regards to the project mostly relying on winging it so as not to get hung up on sticking to the outline. I will my best to knock out large chunks of the project before taking any breaks unless I hit a wall, and

Over the past four months, I have made great strides as a writer. The area where I have seen the most growth is in my use of the writing process. Prior to my enrollment in this course, I would sit down and write all my papers in one sitting. This class has taught me how to lay out a plan for my papers. I have learned how to effectively brainstorm/research, draft, and revise my writings before I complete them. Also I have learned to not just stop there, instead I am now going back and reflecting on my work after I complete it. This allows me to identify where I prospered and also where my downfalls may have been. With this information, I am able to apply this to future writings of mine; lessons that will stay with me forever.

Writing an essay may seem like a huge obstacle to overcome, but with a plan of attack and a little organization, it can be easily completed. All it takes is seven easy steps.

I am going to explain what I feel when it comes to writing and what pictures represent me when it comes to the writing process. I have very mixed feelings when it comes to writing because it mostly depends on the subject that I am writing on to determine how I feel on the writing process. I feel really excited when it comes to writing because I love to express myself when writing it just makes me feel good inside. I also sometimes feel really bad when writing because sometimes l just don’t want to write about some subjects. It depends how I feel about the subject because some subjects I feel very strong about subjects and others not so much. I hate some subjects because they bore me so much that it is hard for me to write about many subjects

I would have to consider my writing process to be similar to being a beginner baker. Although I have had numerous English classes throughout my educational career, I do not, however, believe that I have had the guidance to help me to excel in the area of writing. It was not until my senior year that I was lucky to have an English teacher who deeply cared for his students. I learned and wrote more in my senior year English class than all of my other years combined. That is why I consider myself to be a beginner.

Prewriting defines any kind of opening work that comes first in the actual paper writing. It does not necessarily have to be writing. In Fact, prewriting can just be strenuous thinking about what you want to write your paper about. Personally, my favorite technique is journaling. I like this technique best because it is used as an on-going process. When using the other techniques, brainstorming, freewriting, clustering, mind mapping, and question-asking, they can wait until you have your paper assignment and are thinking about where to start. Journaling is great throughout your assignment with whatever material you could possibly be writing about. Also, it can involve pieces of all the previous techniques that where mentioned above. However,

What I have learned about myself as a writer in this course is that I’m a pretty good writer, but it is the little things that I need to work on to make my essay’s better. The little things are coming up with my own ideas, punctuation, and grammar. These things are important because it is good to write and improve your ability as a writer and thinker. It will help with your other courses such as History, Biology, and English. It is always good to write every day because it makes you want to think bigger and better about

This semester, I learnt many writing skills and tried different type of essays. I wrote three type of essay, Formal Academic Critique, Causal Analysis and Argument Research. We started with practicing the technique to summarize and paraphrase the article. Then we did research practice based on “Stand on your Ground”. Through this practice, I learnt how to narrow down my topic, by combing the main topic, viewpoint and focus aera. This skill is very useful, as it is easier to structure essay in this way.

Hello Jerry Brainstorming with other is a great way of getting new ideas. We can get different perspectives and points of view if we are able to do this with our family and friends but if we can not I also prefer Freewriting. Freewriting will allow me to express myself and write everything I am thinking of that way I don’t forget. If we feel comfortable using all techniques will be great for ourselves but as long as we put in practice any of them, it will definitely help us in doing a good job with our papers or assignments.

The objective of this course is to teach students how to produce and write a not only concise, but compelling essays through one main idea. Throughout the semester, this course has taught me to use outlines and drafts that require further revisions to help interpret each essay and establish the structure in a better order. Specifically, the revision process allows me to take a second look back at my essay and see how I could have ultimately created a more exceptional essay. To start, the revision process allows me to review my thesis and create a better one so that I can have a more defined aspect and get the main point across. Also, the concept of revising an essay can lead to a more easily understood paper with more specific details which would lead to a more structured and evidence based argument. The revision process helps to improve papers to become more effective by creating a better overall thesis which could lead to a more conclusive essay that gets directly to the main point of the desired analysis.

I really understand your point about free writing and based upon looking at this thread it would seem that a lot of students also share some of your views regarding free writing. I think it's just that for some writing in a short period of time without using proper punctuation can be a bit difficult since in that respect you are throwing a key part of what you have learned about writing out the window in order to write like a mad man for ten minutes.

I have learned many things throughout the course of the term, including such things as: how to write an essay and how to improve on essays that I have already written, how to locate and composite better research through the use of numerous resources found at the campus library, the internet, and the “Common Sense” textbook, how to cite research, examples, and quotations properly within the contents of my research paper as well as document it accurately according to MLA standards.
