My Writing Process

My first step in the writing process has remained relatively the same. I begin by reading the assignment sheet, and then begin brainstorming topics that I could use for the essay. Usually I come up with two or three ideas for me to explore, in case one topic does not have enough information to turn into a good paper. After thinking of a few ideas, I pick one idea that I think is the best, and I try to come up with a basic outline of the paper. Then, I search on Google and read a few articles that I find to see what information is available on the topic and how I can use the information in my paper. It is at this point where I decide whether or not to go ahead with the topic depending on what I find. If I continue on, I widen my search to databases and focus on more credible internet

In reviewing the essay, there are many errors I noticed. Overall, your writing lacks focus in regards to ideas, grammar, and spelling. I am no expert in any of these areas, but my ability to produce a coherent essay is demonstrated by the fact that I am nearly done with college. The goal of my essay is to guide you towards a better way of writing based on my prior experiences. A good essay in my experience is one that has three major components: structure, depth, and voice.

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.

If it says anything, I only write weekly in the summer and daily during the school year. School - absolutely necessary - is the only reason I do so. Though I hate to say it, writing for pleasure should be a fun activity because of no rules or how abstract you can be. Unfortunately, I only write for school, which increases my writing fairly quickly, resulting in me having quite a workload. For example, last summer I was assigned The Life of Pi and Into the Wild. I looked at my summer reading the 20th, and it was due the 28th. I had to rush my assignments in only three days. The workload was awful to be hit with all at once, because I had to work at a decent time. From this moment on, I learned procrastination is

Finding your own writing process is crucial for a writer in order to write a successful paper. Everyone is unique and everyone’s writing process is going to be unique as well. A writer’s notebook is a perfect way for people to record random thoughts, dialogue you hear, and any other ideas you might hear. Brainstorming is a key technique to get started when composing a paper. Brainstorming allows you to think of different topics that would fulfill the requirements needed on your topic assigned. Freewriting, clustering, listing and outlining, and collaborating are also some other techniques that when practiced could come very useful when writing a paper. Having the ability to use either of these five techniques would help tremendously when composing a paper.

I would describe the writing process I experienced through my learning years as very limited and poor in skills. I can definitely say that my writing techniques and methods are simple and basic. Since English is not my primary language I feel really pressured by this subject and I'm expecting too much from myself. I remember when I was in 8th grade at the beginning stage of learning a new language, my English teacher focused mainly on teaching her students how to spell the words correctly, show the proper grammar, and form the correct structural sentence organization. The difficulty I am experiencing in writing any essay is the language barrier and not

Homework for a different class, some reading assignments, housework, or (to make a long story short) other important things are my next excuse to avoid writing. Like writers, those watchers tell them, “ ‘Don’t try and continue with your book till your dental appointment is over’ ”, I yield to a pull to do some other things, which seem to me very urgent and the most significant in the world. For example, when I think that I need to write an essay, I suddenly remember that there will be a test tomorrow, and I need to reread several chapters for that test or I need to start cooking because my

It was a really nice meeting you! You wanted me to write about my writing process and here I’m writing it to you in this letter.

Writing process is long road and sometimes it is difficulty. The most challenging aspect of creating this genre piece was the use of sources through in-text citations. I did not want to make the same mistake so it took long time to correct my mistakes. What I have learned about myself as a writer is that I should not the lack of confidence to guide me through my writing. The confidence is powerful tool for any writer. The thing which I would might done differently if I had more time was to do more research on my topic. There were no weakest area of my writing. The strongest writing in my composer’s Statement is the solution of water scarcity. I would give myself an A for the Composer’s Statement because I know I met ten standards of mastery.

Attention Getter: So I’m pretty sure everyone here has had an important assignment to complete before like a project or essay. And most of us usually plan it out where we do a portion of it every day. For example, something like this chart here. But then the next thing you know, the deadline is fast approaching and you still haven’t come close to completing your assignment. And we end up somewhere like this. Well, I believe that we can all relate to this and we have all done this to ourselves before. I’m talking about procrastination.

Once analyzing, brainstorming, and outlining is complete it’s time to write. Beginning the writing process is the hardest for me. The beginning of each paragraph is difficult, especially when I know what I want to say, but don’t know how to write it. It is hard to write what I want to express in each paragraph. Time is either my savior or my enemy I prefer not to be rushed when I’m writing. Some people can write for days in a limited time and others need time to process and think, like me. I tend to overthink everything when I’m writing and that usually gets in the way and puts a stop to my writing. I constantly reread every paragraph and write and then reread again. Rereading also gets in the way of finishing a timed essay. Writing becomes easier when there is no stress present. After all the distractions are gone writing becomes easier.

In the past, I have been confident enough to wait until the night before to finish a paper. More times than not, I get perfect scores or a few points deducted. Depending on the genre of writing, I do procrastinate, which is not a very smart thing to admit in an English class paper, but nonetheless, I do it. My procrastination has reduced over time, simply because I put more effort into my papers and even found a way of writing that works for me. Since I have been given the opportunity to follow whatever steps, in whatever order works for me, I have become a more successful writer.

Attention Getter: We all have been there when we wait until the last minute to write a paper or study for an exam. We struggle to get these things done and this struggle is called procrastination.

(Technique 2: style/voice) My first essay on procrastination was a narrative research essay. It comprised of research on a topic that was supported with my own experiences. This essay, in particular, I believe was very strong due to its style and voice. I tend to incorporate humor and modesty in my writing so as to better appeal to my audience. I could have all the textual and factual evidence in the world, but it will always fall short in comparison to meaningful experiences. This type of writing cannot be done without the appropriate use of style and
