My Pre-Writing Process Analysis

Decent Essays

My usual method for writing an essay made it hard for me to start and actually continue into writing it. I would first start out and open a word document; Then, I would try and figure out how I was going to write the entire paper in my head, which made it really difficult sometimes. Starting the essay was definitely my worst enemy because I didn’t know what to start with or how to go about most papers. My method has changed since this class. I always knew what an outline was but now I have implemented it into my pre-writing. Before, I write I try to make an outline of all of the topics that will go into the essay. After, the outline is finished, the biggest lesson I’ve learned to get my paper started is to simply start typing. It doesn’t matter …show more content…

I would be more creative and energetic about the essays I actually wanted to write than the ones I didn’t want to; Therefore, I believe I took less time on the ones I wanted to write and more on the ones I didn’t. I don’t know exactly how much time it took me but the topics I enjoyed, it would take me a single night. The ones I didn’t enjoy I would use my technique I learned to just randomly start typing.

Now, I feel more interested in writing when I get to write on a topic I like. I believe I have learned to include sensory details into my writing through this class and it really intrigues the …show more content…

It was also one of the most fun essays because I got to try to write a poem. I have never really tried to write a poem but always admired them. It was challenging in the fact because I really wanted my poem to rhyme. It took me thirty minutes to come up with about ten short lines for a poem. It was a long time to think about the rhymes I was going to use but it was challenging and fun for me. The easiest essay I wrote in this class was also very enjoyable. It was my essay about the golf tournament I went to. I included sensory details into it and hoped to bring people’s attention to my writing through it. I enjoyed the essay a lot because it was a true story on a great experience I had in a golf tournament. The activities that assisted me in preparing for each essay were simply an outline. Although, I’m not sure if randomly typing to start an essay would qualify for an activity, it helped me a lot. The outline was very helpful for me to understand how my essay was going to be written. I can’t remember what activities that were not helpful because I don’t remember using any other ones other than the
