My Writing Process

Decent Essays
I would say I have a neutral opinion on English classes. Some days I like them, and some days I dread the time when I have to go home and write another really long essay. My writing process has always been about the same from year to year because I tend to do very well on most of them. I have really enjoyed reading books and plays in class, and I hope we can do that in the future. Over the years, I have defined a technique for writing essays that best suits me. I always type essays on a computer at my desk, which is located in the office space at my house. There is no specific time of day when I decide to write an essay, but it usually will happen late at night when I have finished all my other homework and want to complete it, or I will write my essay early in the morning because I am busy during the day. Usually when I start writing essays, ideas come to me rapidly, so I prefer to write my whole essay at one time. After a couple days, I will go back to it during multiple occasions over the next week to revise it and make it the best it can be. I never pre-write, and I find writing outlines to be useless …show more content…
Even though creative writing may not seem like a difficult task, for uncreative people like me, it is extremely difficult. Socratic Seminars are the absolute worst because I am not very good at being able to form and defend my own opinion. Also, most of the Socratic Seminars I have participated in have a couple people who talk the whole entire time and get the most possible points during it and leave me with nothing to say because they have said everything else. Another part of the Socratic Seminar I dislike is the fact that I have to interrupt other people to talk to recieve my points. I have learned throughout my life the interrupting people is rude, but now, that is exactly what I have to

    I do this in order to gain a clear understanding of what the paper is asking of me. Next, I consult all the materials given, or collected by me, to begin to form an idea about what I want my paper to state. Then I start my outline. Outlining is a pretty simple process for me it usually includes headings that state the main idea of the paragraph with bullet points of supporting detail.…

    In regards to my writing process, there have been some central strategies that I have developed over time and some strategies that I have had for as long as I can remember. For example, one skill that I have developed from high school has been to annotate, mark up, and take notes throughout my readings. I found that taking notes really helps me, not only to remember what I read but to go back and be able to point out something in my reading easily. In addition, it helped me understand the readings better.…

    Coming into English 101, I really did not know what to expect. This was my first college writing class so I had no idea what it was going to be like. In high school I would have considered myself to be a decent writer, not the best or not the worst. I would never impress anyone with my writing skills but I could still come across as educated on my topic.…

    I would normally just write whatever came to my mind and just go with it: no rhyme or reason for writing what I was putting down on paper and my papers tended to read just like that. Since I’ve been in this class I actually write my ideas out in a web and try to expand on each idea as much as I can. Whenever it time to revise my work I usually proof read my paper, then I will check it on line for grammar and punctuation and then I would ask someone else to proof read it to see if they identify anything that I may have missed. The most helpful aspect of drafting is that it makes it so much easier to organize my ideas and then expand on them. Overall my writing has improved drastically and I’ve received an “A” on each writing assignment which for me has been an incredible improvement.…

    Reflection Of My Writing

    If I was writing a paper that required a specific number of paragraphs or pages I would typically plan my paper using the four square method. If I was writing an important paper I would write a rough draft, then as I was typing it I would revise it and fix any mistakes I found. One thing that remained consistent in my writing process, no matter the type of paper, is after I wrote the paper I would try to find more grade level appropriate words instead of the simple words I originally used. While writing essays for this class I came to find it is better to combine my writing processes to write the best possible essay I could. I found the best steps for me to take in writing my paper are to write my ideas down in some form.…

    In this seminar the three key points I would like to talk about is to always look at the examples for discussion boards and assignments, where to go and learn how to cite resources correctly and the different steps you can take for your topic. When I am unsure of what is required for a post or paper I can always go look at the example to read one. After I see an example I can have an idea of what to wrote about. Also the processor talked about a part of the writing center where I can go learn more about citing my resources. This will come in handy because I still struggle with citing my resources so for now on the writing center will be seeing more of me.…

    Pre writing is the first phase associated with the writing process along with drafting, revising, editing, and publishing (Alber-Morgan, Hessler, & Konrad, 2007). I personally do not have a very in depth formal pre writing process. I begin each assignment by watching the weekly lecture and taking notes on things that pertain to the discussion post and complete section. Next, I write down various topics and contemplate them over night. I can formulate my ideas better whenever I physically write them out versus when I sit in front of a computer screen and try to type.…
