My Writing Process

My writing process, no matter what, always includes brainstorming, rough drafts and proofreading. When I receive an assignment I read the question over what feels like a million times till I fully understand what it is asking. I will make notes on the handout and as soon as ideas come to my mind i will jot them down, even if I do not end up using them. As soon as I get ideas i role with it, even if I have to go back in the end and change everything. Rough drafts come next. I like to write them out first so i can scribble and make notes to myself and fill things in when i need to. I write in pen so sometimes by drafts can be more rough then they should be, but that is how i like it. After my essay is all finished I proofread, many many times.

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

After writing these few essays, I understand that there are multiple ways I could have improved when in the process of writing. For example, I could have used more quotes to help solidify my writing and support some of my arguments more, I also could have brought in my experiences with history within school and maybe what I was taught about the Cold War, and lastly I think I could explain some of the major leaders better when using for my argument. Having prior knowledge about this topic would probably be the best way to prepare to revise these several essays that I have written.

My writing process is like a baby learning how to walk. During their first year, the baby is busy developing coordination and muscle strength in every part of their body. They will learn to sit, roll over, and crawl before moving on to pulling up and standing. From then on, it's a matter of gaining confidence and balance before they start walking. They will fall over and over again but likewise, they will try over and over again until they’re off and eventually running. High school for me was like a baby’s first year when it’s preparing to start walking and this quarter in EWRT 211 was when I gave the first baby steps. With more practice, I’ll be walking with ease in no time. I believe I will be successful in EWRT 1A.

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

Writing. I believe I know a thing or two about writing, I am able to create a text that successfully accomplish its purpose. But i also have numerous flaws and mistakes.

For example, do you fear the blank page? You may be skipping the essential early phases of writing.

When writing an essay, I would begin by understanding the genre or purpose of the writing assignment and knowing who will read my essay. Brainstorming and organizing all the details or ideas, examples, comes next. I gather my evidence based on my personal experience or by conducting a research from a trusted source. I never counted how many drafts I usually write, but I usually end up writing several drafts before I'm satisfied. I find

My normal writing process is something I would think is close to what some others do with some variation mixed in near the end. I get the assignment then figure out the date that it is due, if it is less than 4 pages and more than a week away I don’t worry about the assignment and just put it away. If it is due in a week or less or more than 3 pages, I will start to go over the rubric and figure out the main idea that I want to work with for this assignment. After I figure out the central idea that my paper will be working off of, I figure out the sub topics that will be implemented into it and if needed, an argument against my paper. Normally for research I use different articles on the internet that seem similar to how I would think and ask

Immediately after I am finished writing my complete essay, I proofread. Proofreading comes in different forms while some people look for any mistakes that pops up I try to proofread two different ways. Looking over your essay only once can

My process can vary because I will sometimes write just the main topic of the essay, getting a general idea of how I want the essay to look. Going over it several times to make sure it’s what I need. Sometimes, I will put all my ideas and small paragraphs into different groups, on paper, of what answers what or what explains a topic better. As to decide which will better fit my essay. Usually, I will talk to friends to ask for opinions or views on what I am writing as it can start interesting conversations and different views I may not have thought of before the

When I think of the word "process", I think of a specific chain of events that gets me to a result. When I think

My biggest area of improvement this year as a writer was my style and structure. Last year, in English I, we learned a writing technique called “The Evidence Sandwich”. It was a basic claim, evidence, commentary, structure for writing body paragraphs. This was helpful when I was a freshman, but as a grew as a writer sophomore year, this made my writing sound static and robotic. As my writing progressed through the school year, I started breaking free from that structure, enabling me to add flow and style to my writing, while still maintaining the requirements for a successful body paragraph. Meanwhile, my writing started shifting from pure summary to actual literary analysis. These changes transformed my writing into more improved and polished papers. A challenge I faced this year was my writing process and my work ethic. At first I was very excited about the amount of essay writing time we had in class. However, as the year continued, I found the stress of sophomore year and all my other classes clouding my focus. This made it very hard to sit down in class and work on my essay without reaching to my other binder. I feel that if I had worked harder to focus in class and get more work done, my essays would have been much better because I would have had more material to revise ahead of time and ask Ms. Hursh questions on, and less work to do the night before the deadline. Next year, I will aim to use my time in class wisely so I have more time at home to focus on college and other junior year items.

The first essential steps I encountered when written an essay was the rough draft, it help me to write down all my thought and source I had found, and also determine if my focus was valid and in right direction. After my rough draft had been previewed, the next step for me was aiming at fixing spellings and grammar errors for the correction of my final draft. This process helps me to work diligently toward the final draft composition and not leaving it to the last minute. During the course of

As English is my second language, I have always found it very difficult to express myself on paper. Writing habits that work best for me is to sit down in a quiet room with paper and pen. Brainstorming would be my first choice; I think about everything that comes to mind in regard to a specific subject and jot it down. In addition, I do internet research on topics that are unknown, so I combine the things that I know with my research. Next, I begin my first draft; usually it takes a few times to rewrite until it sounds good. In addition, I think about my audience, my word choice and I also like to use the 5 W’s to keep me on track of my writing. Writing takes time for me so I always want to make sure when I start I complete
