The Challenges Of A Reflection In Writing A 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.

Once I am beginning my writing process, I always start with pre-writing. This is usually the easiest step for me. I like to just sit down, in a quiet room and write out as much as I can about an idea to see what I can come up with. Usually from there I can find my topic, if not I just write some more. I usually do this a few times until I find ideas I want to write about. This helps me not over think too much in the

Ever since I can remember, I’ve struggled with writing. It just wasn’t something that came natural to me and always resulted in a very uncomfortable process. Throughout this class, I have become more comfortable with writing and its components. Though, this is only writing 101, my skill level has increased immensely. Before starting this course, writing was uncomfortable and confusing, but towards the end, my knowledge has expanded and I can more comfortably take on the majority of writing assignments.

My writing process is very simple and mostly like the authors in the video. The writing process I use while I write is simple tool to use, it only has 5 parts to it. Everybody process different an author can have also have multi ways to write depending on this subject you are writing on. To me it is the beginning of the writing process is the most important step in the writing process. Before I write my paper I brainstorms thoughts and topics and also my platform. Some people do not like to brainstorm before they write but I have to in order to write a good paper. I like to make an outline of what I want to say by making a list of what I could possibly use in my paper. The next writing process is the longest and hardest for me because I have

People have many ways that they write. Some do a process of doing drafts so they can look through, edit and make the paper better. Others will just write a paper and turn it in. My process consist of starting with making a thesis. Then from the thesis I create the topic sentences for the topic at hand. The best way to write the essay in a good format and have good detail in the writing I would write a paragraph a day. By doing that process it allows me to get what is needed out on the paper so none of the paragraphs are mixing content and making the paragraphs less structured. This process not only makes writing essays less stressful while also getting the paper done quickly.

For this process reflection I am going to start with is what influences my writing and my process for writing. After that I will go a bit into what I’ve learned so far in the course and how that has add some influence on my writing as well. That being said isn’t all of our writing a reflection of ourselves? I’ll come back to that idea at the end if there’s room with this double spacing nonsense.

As a writer I’ve grown so much throughout my college experience at Rowan University through the writing arts program. I was introduced to the different genres and styles of writing within all of my courses. Specifically, my Senior Seminar Evaluating Writing course. This course introduced me to the many different genres and styles of writing. I learned quickly within this course that the genres in writing can be determined by the literary technique, the tone, the content, the voice, the vocabulary used and even how the long the reading is. Not only did I learn all of the ways to determine a genre, but I have also learned all that would not be considered a genre.

My old writing methods weren’t bad, but they definitely needed to be improved upon. In past times I would create three circles that listed my three main arguments and start writing immediately. Even though I still use this technique, the thing I have improved on is taking more time during the brainstorming process. It is important to take your time and fully think out what you plan on writing about. Your paper should always be smooth with good transitions all while staying on topic. But this cannot be achieved if you don’t actually plan out the essay. Now before I even begin typing, I brainstorm for at least two or three hours and map out everything in this time period from simple transitions to what my thesis statement should be.This method works the best for me because my sense of voice has improved and I find that once you invest more time in your paper then writing a longer essay won't seem very difficult because you know what you have to say.Giving more thought makes the writing process more organized and easier while still having a better developed paper.

I am writing to explain how I mostly met the Process Knowledge outcome. It is my belief that receiving a high grade on a paper is due to constant revision and editing. This memo covers my revision process as well as strategies I use to achieve assignment goals. I will use your comments in my past assignments as it relates to this outcome. Although there are different ways to which people write, my process consists of generating ideas, revising, drafting, and editing. Like any writer there are strong and weak elements of my writing process.

In this class, The Writer’s Mind, I have learned alot and have struggled a lot as well. Throughout this semester I have wrote some papers that I truly liked and a few I didn’t like at all. Therefore for this portfolio I added the ones I enjoyed and were proud of and excluded the ones I didn’t like, which for me, was the memoir. I personally didn’t like my memoir piece because I thought it was unorganized and didn’t stay on topic, unlike the other pieces I have chosen to include.

Throughout my first semester at the University of Portland, the quality of my writing progressively increased. My English 112 class contained many different activities that contributed to helping me become a better writer. Informal writing assignments, class discussions, peer review sessions and the writing center were just some of the resources available to me that helped progress not only my writing ability but my overall reading & writing analysis skills as well. Not only did I make new relationships with my peers, these relationships also helped me understand the content more thoroughly, work out any problems that I had with my ideas, and encourage me to be more social among my fellow classmates as well. Nearing the end of this

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.

     One of the techniques I am going to use through out college is talking to

Well, I have never thought about my writing process before, but I will try to describe it as much as I can. The first stage, which is the most important thing in my writing process is that to know the purpose of the topic that I am going to write about and I have to make sure that believing in the work that I am going to work on. Following those steps the next stage is going to be to just simply start typing without worrying about nothing, it might sound crazy because logically you cannot build a house without having materials that are needed obviously, but for me as a foreigner and having difficulties in writing the best way to have my ideals and thoughts flow is that to just sit down and type without hesitation. The next stage

Overall, this class has taught me a lot. It has pushed and stretched my writing abilities to the limit, and has helped me grow as a writer. I was able to learn how to construct a strong, valid thesis, do extensive research on a topic, and do a deep analysis on different material. Although this course was a bit tricky for me because I do not care for writing, I feel that this course will help me conquer my writing endeavors in the future.
