Essay About My Writing Process

Writing a paper on the writing process is pretty hard. The writing process is different from one person to another. You come across questions like, 'What exactly is the writing process?'; and 'Must you follow one persons writing process if yours is different?'; This is where I came across the answer to my questions, write however you wish to write. If one person likes free write first and another person likes to write a draft first, let them do how they please.

It’s ENC 1101, Not knowing what to expect I entered the room with absolute fear, after all it was my first year of college. Although I’ve never been quite fond of English in the past, I’ve always excelled in the subject. I had yet to work for my grade and no English course I had taken proved to be a challenge through my eyes. I am a huge procrastinator, if not one of the biggest when it comes to assignments. I most likely wrote papers the night before or the day of and still managed to average an “A” on all of them. This bad habit led me to believe that I was cheating myself. Throughout my scholastic years I always had the mentality of asking “what could this class possibly teach me that I didn’t already know?” I believed that my writing

I am an invisible person living in a world of very observable beings. My words give credence to my existence. I want to write so others can enjoy and learn from my struggles and victories. When I write, it starts in my head, then somewhere along the way I know what I want to say so I put it on paper, with a pencil. Once it is there, I make my way to the computer; I sort through the thoughts I put down and pick out the ones I like. I leave many thoughts behind. When I have picked out the choice words, I let them simmer, like a good pot of stew the flavours and words have to work with each other. I run it through my grammar checks, are all the sentences complete, are there any

My best piece of writing for this class would be the annotated bibliography because there was a structure that I was supposed to follow, so I was more confident since I knew what to write. My writing process didn’t change much because I would write the topic sentence or a brief sentence of what I knew I wanted to talk about in a paragraph, then went back to discuss my ideas after writing down some other topic sentences. However, I did change how I edit my papers. I used to go back and edit everything on the final draft, but this time around, after every draft, I would try my best to edit at least one or two things within a paragraph.

Everyone has a process when they write a paper, a book, or a story. Typically, everyone has a similar process, but each person's overall method will vary. For example, some people may choose paper and pencil while others prefer using a keyboard. My process is generally the same, but may slightly deviate according to the type of writing assignment.

My writing process begins with my brainstorming ideas and writing them down on a separate piece of paper. That way I already know what Im going to be writing about and not just putting down a bunch of gibberish into my assignment. But this process only works if im having to writing an actual story or when doing a persuasive essay. Once all my ideas are jot down or I have what I’m going to write about in my head, I start writing my paper.

What identifies me as a writer consist of how I work with my writing process. Basically I prepare myself with notes and additional information before I write my paper so it would not be confusing at all. I also go through multiple strategies or steps to write different papers that consist of the majority of typing, distractions, and how I concentrated. My writing process is summarized by three pictures, the first one is a computer screen with in blank besides on line, a boy distracting a girl from reading a book with an airplane, and a person driving into the sunset. These help me most of the time by getting my paper done within a few hours but that takes a lot of effort especially with what types of distractions, how focused I am and if I motivated to type.

Writing any sort of paper takes thought, time, and work. My writing process is like going on a strenuous hike. When going on a strenuous hike one must plan ahead and research where they are going. In writing one must do research and get all the knowledge that they can on the subject. Once the hike is all planned out and ready to go it is time to start on the hike, you aren’t necessarily focused on details at the time because you haven't made it to your final destination yet.. This is like starting on the rough draft, writing down and getting all your ideas down without much regard to grammar but just trying to get all your thoughts onto the paper. Then after you have been walking for a while you probably will need a break to hydrate and regain energy for the rest of the hike. Often times when writing papers you take breaks between drafts and even in the middle because writing can become monotonous. However, after taking a break you have probably

What is writing? Writing is the way that use written words to express your ideas or opinions, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Israeli Novelist A.B. Yehoshua once said, “The most difficult and complicated part of the writing process is the beginning”. Similar to fingerprints, not everybody is identical when they write.

Everyone has a different process they usually run through while writing a paper. In the past, I have always gone straight for the computer when I wish to start on a particular assignment. Whereas some may prefer to put their words on paper first or prepare a detailed outline, I stick to opening up a word document and writing the first thoughts that come to mind. Teachers have practically drilled into my mind over the years that outlining will help my writing, but personally I repeatedly struggle with structure, and prefer to write right away and clean up later. Furthermore, often times I will think of a new idea while writing a paragraph completely unrelated. Instead of abandoning this thought, I tend to bullet point at the bottom of the word document to remember to incorporate it at some point in the paper. Thus, I approach a paper more freely and choose to type what’s on my mind currently, as apposed to copying from an outline or a handwritten essay.

/\Never have I had a hard time picking a topic… well this paper broke that record. I spent an unreasonable amount of time gaze hopelessly at what I’m supposed to turn in to two to three pager paper. It’s no hard task to distract me which happened frequently thought ought writing. When I finally mead some welcome progress in my paper that is always a joyous moment when you know the topic will work.

Consider how the writing process you read about in this class differs from the process you have used in the past. What specifically have you done in the past compared to what you read about this week?

All of the formal writing I have done recently and in the past has been for school. In my junior and senior year of high school my two year course focused a lot on reading and analyzing novels and plays as well as written commentaries. I have a very solid base in analyzing text and as well as writing for a purpose, whether it is formal or more personal in nature. Other types of writing include things others have mentioned including texting, emailing, etc. I do not particularly enjoy fiction writing, and same goes with reading, I would much rather read something nonfiction.

1. David’s primary purpose in sending a message is to inform the reader that the car company will not honour the customer’s claim. The writer’s priority is to inform the reader that the company would like to honour the claim, but point out that it could not happen because the warranty is expired.

I approached this writing assignment like I do for every other essay I have to write; I have to have “The Writing Process.” Last year, I was introduced to this method and it definitely helped me to accomplish every other essay that I get assigned. With this method, I make sure that I brainstorm what my essay could be about, what’s an experience that I would like to share. I also think about what theme I could give out to the readers that are reading my story and what they could learn from it. After that, I start listing out specific concepts about my different stories that I’m choosing from like, if I chose to write about my dad, what would I tell about him and how he’s helped me. Or how my mom’s decision not to work to make sure she’s with her kids whenever we needed her (believe me, we needed her.) Then, I actually skip the free-writing because I don’t feel it’s necessary for me, so I chose what story to write about then start writing.
