Teachers, parents, and friends often tell students exactly what the writing process should entail and
how long it should take. However, the older I get, the more I realize that the writing process varies
not only from person to person, but also from one writing project to the next. Throughout my years
of life, I have written countless papers, ranging from a persuasive speech to an extensive research
paper, and each project requires an altered version of my personal writing process. While each
individual has his own writing process, there can be many similarities between different writing
processes. Finding one's individual writing process takes trial, error, and repetition. When an
individual finally uncovers his unique writing process, better thought, work, and writing is
produced. My personal writing process, if I want it to be successful, requires many aspects, such
as location, environment, and sound. The location where I complete my writing process is
important. I want to feel comfortable being myself and doing what I need to do to write a good
paper. In my opinion, the environment in which I work should be relatively quiet, but I also like
there to be enough noise to cover the sound of my typing or writing, in addition to the quiet things I
mumble to myself when I write. Working in a room alone is something I can only sometimes do.
Unfortunately, I am more easily distracted with technology in a room alone than I am with real
people eating, talking, or studying

My Essay: The Writing Process
The Writing Process My writing process is very simple yet slightly confusing for those who need
to be organized when writing. The process begins in the classroom when the teacher assigns a essay
and gives me a prompt. Then it begins to break down into the basic steps that the "typical person"
takes when writing. First, I examine the prompt and dissect it like a frog,taking out all the important
and needed information. I check to see the topic of the essay, all the requirements such as the length
of the essay and the type of paper it needs to be. Once that is done I find the intended audience.
Each of these steps are essential to the type of evidence and quotes that will be used . It also helps
me begin to start thinking about how I want to begin my essay and structure it....show more content...
Procrastination is the action of delaying or postponing something. This action has been my best
friend and my worse enemy on several occasions when writing papers. It has taught me that I can
write a paper that should take 2 weeks in 2 hours and that I can take 2 weeks to write a paper that
should be done in 2 hours. Once the procrastination process is over I either look up articles
relevant to the topic of the paper or I gather my articles from class. I go through the articles and I
underline/highlight any important information. I begin somewhat of a brainstorm process. This
process includes me taking out a sheet of paper separating it into sections. The sections are either
beginning,middle,and end or paragraph one,paragraph two ,paragraph three etc. I back track and
I begin to eliminate the evidence. I keep three to four pieces of the evidence that will be able to
be expanded on the most. Based on that I decide what each paragraph or section will be about. On
the piece of paper I write the topic under each section based on where it needs to

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

.
The process that I have read about in this class differs a lot from the process I have used in the past
in many different ways. I n the past when I was given a writing assignment if research was needed I
just found the basic information I needed and write the paper. After the readings this week I have
learned that there are few main questions and things you should always ask yourself before
beginning your writing process. The first thing I learned was to think about your readers, asking

A "fresh eye" is very important when reading a paper. It is during the editing phase that I will also
reread the paper a few times to ensure that it flow smoothly from one thought to another. I will also
give my paper to other people (friend/coworker) to read so that I can get their valued input. While
all of this may seem quite tedious, it will help me write a great paper.
2. Which step in the writing process is the most difficult for you to complete? Why is it difficult?
In the writing process the step that I think would be the most difficult for me to complete would be
drafting. Drafting is researching, crafting a thesis statement, outlining, and documenting sources. In
this phase of the paper majority of the work is done. In researching your paper you have to find
information on your topic, keep track of any paraphrases, summaries, and quotations along with
their sources. Crafting your thesis statement, this is one sentence that states your opinion on the
subject and must be supported by your research. The thesis statement alone takes a lot of work
because it needs to be broad enough to include all the supporting points of your paper. In the
outlining phase you will be using all the information you have retrieved and form your paper.
Documenting your sources is also very important in this stage because you need to make sure if you

"Survey the archives". Which is the beginning of the writing process. This is a step which I have

I can't find interesting facts that go along with the assigned topics. This step can take me a long

Reflection On My Writing Process
My writing looks like the game Tetris – I write according to how my ideas flow from my head to my
paper. The English 1010 lessons are designed to impact my writing processes and since being in the
course I have realized the importance of the process while preparing the paper. While I knew that
practice and revisions were important to the writing process, the ideas of writing as inherently
collaborative or as an extension of technology were not concepts that I had considered at length.
For the assignment, I chose to record myself and reflect on my process. The observation of my
writing process and decisions took place in an awkward way. I began sitting at my desk in my dorm
with a black ink pen, wide–ruled paper, and the prompt of my essay. It took a good bit of time for the
process to begin – all the distractions had to run out, frequent checks on social media, quick trip to
the snack machine, and responding to text messages. Finally, it was time to start. I can begin.
"Ok, outline" I said to myself. "What's your main point?" And so, I started, pen to paper, writing
the three main ideas I knew I wanted to cover in the paper. I did discover, however, that I scratch
my head while I am thinking and as I write I would catch myself reading aloud.
Following the outline process, I decided to start typing the rough draft. I first started my
introduction giving the audience an idea of what the essay will be about. I did not know entirely
what I wanted the audience to know so I found myself typing and deleting a lot. I decided to divide
the essay in proportions to what I want to explain. I chose to discuss improvements, changes, and
goals for the following semester. I noticed I then spent five minutes staring at how I was going to
start the explanation. This could be for two reasons – perhaps I needed a break from writing or
perhaps I did not take enough time planning. I honestly did not know. I eventually figured out how to
gather the information to begin the paper.
After typing for fifteen minutes, I realized I repeatedly reviewed the previous typed words
constantly. I stopped for a few minutes and reread my entire paper out loud to myself. I was not
loud more like soft spoken. The practice allowed me to

The First And Hardest Part Of Writing An Essay
The first and hardest part of writing an essay is figuring out how to start. A professor may give a
topic to be written about, but in some cases that may not happen. The first step is to pick a topic.
The topic will serve as your thesis. You want to pick a topic that you are relatively knowledgeable
about so you are not completely in the dark. By picking a topic that you know even a little about,
will take away the anxiety of not knowing where to start or what to write about. If you chose to
challenge yourself and write a paper about something you are novice about, then you want to pick
a topic that is broad enough to find enough information about. For example, if you want to write a
paper about cars, do not make cars what your paper is about, because although it is a broad topic
it is also somewhat narrow. Try to broaden your topic buy changing it to, "how cars have changed
our lives." Changing your topic to a more argumentative thesis gives you a pinpoint area to write
about and leaves the door open to give you more to write about. The second step, and what I believe
to be the most important step is locating sources to support your thesis. A researchessay without
sources becomes an opinion essay, and that is what you as the writer want to stay away from.
Sources make your essay more creditable. If your essay is about "how technology has benefited
students and teachers in the classrooms," then you should find sources that are about how
technology is used in

Thank goodness for Mrs. Ewing, my high school writing teacher! She taught me how to be a
better writer. She is a strict teacher, but she also knows how to make learning fun, and I think that
is why I remember some of the things she taught. For instance, my class did thesaurus drills to see
who could come up with the best answer to the word she would give us. Also, Mrs. Ewing was
diligent about writing examples as a class on the board before giving us our assignments to ensure
everyone knew what was expected of them. She creates a fun learning environment for the class to
comprehend the various steps to preparing a successful essay. Determining the topic, if one is not
assigned, is the next writing step. While an endless supply of topics is available, guarantee the
subject is applicable and compatible to the type of essay that is being written. For example, the topic
of pro–life in the abortion debate is not an appropriate topic for a process essay; however, a topic
on how to do anything with steps involved, such as writing a paper or building a house, produces
excellent choices for a process essay. The theme choice can make or break the composition;
therefore, it is important to pick a familiar topic. Sometimes, conducting research is...show more

This step is extremely important because this helps the writer to organize his thoughts and to put
them in a logical order. The guideline can be a simple or as long as necessary. Typically, an outline
consists of an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. The body usually consists of a minimum of
three points with supporting evidence listed under each point. The more the outline is broken down,
the easier the writing process becomes. Then, create a topic sentence which precisely describes
what is being discussed in the body of the essay. It is important that the topic sentence is precise and

The Writing Process Essay
The 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.
The writing process is something that you figure out yourself as you go through school. I personally
think that is why they make us take English for so many years. Through the years, I found that some
teachers forced you to write certain ways. I believe that...show more content...
I don't agree with him. The only way for someone to improve his or her writing is if a peer reads
over it and explains what could be done to improve it.
In The Maker's Eye: Revising Your Own Manuscript, Murray says, 'Writers must learn to be their
own worst enemy'; (Murray 87). He is trying to say that when it comes to editing, you must be able
to accept criticism from others and be suspicious of it. Just because they say that you should
rearrange that paragraph doesn't necessarily mean you have to. The way you wrote the paragraph
could be in your own voice.
Your papers should be filled with your voice. Voice is what makes your writing personal. But your
voice could be different depending on what you write about. I would put a lot more of my feelings
in a paper about food, than a paper about how the polar ice caps are melting.
Revising and rewriting a paper is a common step in the writing process. Personally, I think your
paper would be crap if you skipped these steps but I'm sure someone has done it before. Every
writer has revised and rewritten a paper. Do you think that Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet in
one shot? I don't think so.
In conclusion, writing is up to the writer. If the writer decides to follow the formal writing process,
then that's their choice. Nothing should be forced when it comes to writing. Then the writer does not
put out their best work possible. Thank you for reading my

Writing Process : Reflective Essay
I have chosen to explore the "Writing Process" that I used while drafting my argumentative paper
on sloths in the rainforest for this reflective essay. I am choosing this topic and this particular
essay because my writing process was a key component to the 'C' I made on the project and how my
failure in this particular area lead me to this grade. Looking back, I realized that the grade I
received is a perfect reflection of the effort I put into the writing process. I believe that I had the
power to make an A if I would have slowed down and completed the essay the right way. From an
outline all the way to the final draft I will be reflecting on my paper and the journey I took to
complete it.
All of my life, people have joked with me about going to law school because of my ability to win
an argument about anything. So the second the words "argumentative essay" left my professors

perfect argument. Being a very impulsive person in and out of the classroom I didn't see any
down sides to my hastiness and I believed that it was a good thing, almost inspiration. I knew what
my topic would be instantly and ideas raced through my mind about how I was going to convince
the audience. I was confident in myself and also in my topic, I believed I was born ready to write
this argument. When I decided to write about the rainforests and sloths I was overwhelmed with

Depending on how they learn, they may be an "idea mapping" organizer or a "formal outlining"

take their main idea and branch off it with their basic ideas and further branch off with more
information. They next main of outlining is the formal outline. This is when a hierarchy of roman
numerals, letters and numbers is created to list their main details. Next to the roman numerals they
list their main ideas, and next to the letters they list examples and other information to help support
what they wrote. In the revising phase, the writer replaces weak or vague words that they may have
used in the first draft with stronger, clearer words. At this point they may come up with new
paragraphs, improve their thesis, reorganize, add important examples and self experience, or even
move sentence around to make the essay flow better. This phase helps the writer improve their essay

The Importance Of Writing Process In Writing
After this semester I feel that I've not only developed into a better writer but also have grasped a
better understanding of the writing process, which is arguably most important; having a solid
foundation for my writing technique is the key to writing well. Throughout middle school and high
school, I have always been told to use the "five paragraph format" when writing essays, but now that
I'm in college, I understand that I have been limiting my creativity and not expressing my
opinions and ideas to their fullest extent. To be a good writer, I must put time and effort into my
topic and fully understand the main idea to write a satisfactory essay. So far, I feel as if I'm doing
alright. `When I first begin the writing process I always start by typing out the full story.
Personally, I can't sit down and plan what I'm going to write about; formal drafting makes me feel
as if I have writers' block. Over the years I have taken bits and pieces of advice about my writing and
incorporated those snippets of guidance and suggestions into what my writing style is today. I don't
think I'm a bad writer, but I could work on developing more of my essays into "A cakes."

Process Of Writing : Writing
Process Of Writing
It 's not complicated; we are doing this since young age. Think about it, the first thing we learn
when starting the path of learning is listening. A long time ago, my grandfather used to say for me,
"Do you listen to learn something or do you listen just to reply?" If you think about it, it's true, and
I believe most of us just listen to reply. Writing skills can never be separated from important skills
such as quotation, citation, grammar and spelling. If a writer can establish those tools in combination
with each other, then the writing process becomes easier than ever. The most important thing is that
writing good takes time and effort. Writing itself may sound easy thing to do, however, a good
writer is someone who feels everything around him or her, observe functionality within society and
collect information as much as possible. Some people become better and writing just because they
love to write about anything. Some writers write about different things or about people or moment
that gave them something to write about, simply they will start to write for no reason and they
would keep this writing for themselves.
The next step in the writing process is the reading. I can tell you something; I never liked to read,
but since I started university I have learned to like it. Reading makes us better speakers, where
readers nor audience would understand what the writer is writing about. . This is the most amazing
gift of communication, and the easy one.

This research usually consists of a student going out of his way to find and gather information on a
certain subject, or subjects. This research not only gives the student information to include in his

not only easy but common. Being that, students need to learn how to find and use the academic

How My Writing Has Changed Essay
My writing styles have changed drastically over the past four years of high school. This memo will
explain how my writing has changed and how my knowledge of writing has improved.
Aspects of My Writing during High School
During my English courses throughout high school, I learned many things from writing simple
journals, research papers, and a single term paper. During high school, I was laid back and
procrastinated for much of my work. During the latter part of high school when I wrote my term

I do this so the information is true, and also in order from which events have occurred. When I
wrote my term paper my senior year I was well organized. I was required to write about an event
in history. I chose India Uprising of 1877 as the topic of my paper. This topic was not interesting at
all, but I chose to write about it. When I finished writing my thesis and outline, I wrote note cards
about the different topics, which allowed me to gather all my information and organize it in which
different events occurred. When I was finished with the paper, it sounded and read consistently and it
all flowed together.
How These Experiences Prepared Me for College Writing
I have written many different types of papers for all of my classes throughout high school. For
my science classes, I have written several labs in the form of essays. Writing the essays was
different for me because I did not really know that science had much to do with writing. It took me
a while to gather all the information I needed to finish my lab assignments. Writing lab reports will
definitely help me in my science courses in the next four years.
The journals I have written came from my four years of high school English. Everyday I came to
class there would be a topic on the board. I took five minutes each day to write about the given
topic. It was brainstorming and giving our input on whatever the topic was. I think

statement which is the sentence or two that brings the reader in and explains the focus of the paper
to its entirety. Finally, is the vocabulary, which is the single most important part ofwriting paper
because it deals with being able to find that right word and to know the definition of that word and
every other word in the paper.
When it comes to outlining the best thing to do is to create an outline, no matter how bad you are at

sure each paragraph is unified, and elaborate paragraphs using strong transition words to captivate
the readers attention, this will allow the essay to flow more smoothly. In addition, it is important to

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. Although, typing is
really easy sometimes my ideas make it a difficult task base on if I'm motivated to do it. Before
typing I prepare notes and get organizer in order for the paper to become a smooth transaction.
Usually, I am staring at a blank computer screen because I have lost my train of thought.
Eventually, after looking over my notes and the assignment, I figure out my next step to actually
type or continue to type. In short, what identifies me as a write and my process is to make some

When I take homework home, I tend to get distracted by my family and especially my phone
because of the loudness I encounter and the phone lighting up. Sometimes I even get frustrated
and lose my focus. After calming down and looking through my notes from distractions it's a
drive toward a relaxing sunset. The is what usually happens and I get a good paper. Sometimes
distractions are a good thing for me because they help improve my paper and ideas to my my
focus stay longer and make me actually get my paper done. My writing process improves by having

Essay Writing Process

  • 1. Teachers, parents, and friends often tell students exactly what the writing process should entail and how long it should take. However, the older I get, the more I realize that the writing process varies not only from person to person, but also from one writing project to the next. Throughout my years of life, I have written countless papers, ranging from a persuasive speech to an extensive research paper, and each project requires an altered version of my personal writing process. While each individual has his own writing process, there can be many similarities between different writing processes. Finding one's individual writing process takes trial, error, and repetition. When an individual finally uncovers his unique writing process, better thought, work, and writing is produced. My personal writing process, if I want it to be successful, requires many aspects, such as location, environment, and sound. The location where I complete my writing process is important. I want to feel comfortable being myself and doing what I need to do to write a good paper. In my opinion, the environment in which I work should be relatively quiet, but I also like there to be enough noise to cover the sound of my typing or writing, in addition to the quiet things I mumble to myself when I write. Working in a room alone is something I can only sometimes do. Unfortunately, I am more easily distracted with technology in a room alone than I am with real people eating, talking, or studying Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. My Essay: The Writing Process The Writing Process My writing process is very simple yet slightly confusing for those who need to be organized when writing. The process begins in the classroom when the teacher assigns a essay and gives me a prompt. Then it begins to break down into the basic steps that the "typical person" takes when writing. First, I examine the prompt and dissect it like a frog,taking out all the important and needed information. I check to see the topic of the essay, all the requirements such as the length of the essay and the type of paper it needs to be. Once that is done I find the intended audience. Each of these steps are essential to the type of evidence and quotes that will be used . It also helps me begin to start thinking about how I want to begin my essay and structure it....show more content... Procrastination is the action of delaying or postponing something. This action has been my best friend and my worse enemy on several occasions when writing papers. It has taught me that I can write a paper that should take 2 weeks in 2 hours and that I can take 2 weeks to write a paper that should be done in 2 hours. Once the procrastination process is over I either look up articles relevant to the topic of the paper or I gather my articles from class. I go through the articles and I underline/highlight any important information. I begin somewhat of a brainstorm process. This process includes me taking out a sheet of paper separating it into sections. The sections are either beginning,middle,and end or paragraph one,paragraph two ,paragraph three etc. I back track and I begin to eliminate the evidence. I keep three to four pieces of the evidence that will be able to be expanded on the most. Based on that I decide what each paragraph or section will be about. On the piece of paper I write the topic under each section based on where it needs to Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Writing Process Essay 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? . The process that I have read about in this class differs a lot from the process I have used in the past in many different ways. I n the past when I was given a writing assignment if research was needed I just found the basic information I needed and write the paper. After the readings this week I have learned that there are few main questions and things you should always ask yourself before beginning your writing process. The first thing I learned was to think about your readers, asking yourself what or how much they need to know...show more content... A "fresh eye" is very important when reading a paper. It is during the editing phase that I will also reread the paper a few times to ensure that it flow smoothly from one thought to another. I will also give my paper to other people (friend/coworker) to read so that I can get their valued input. While all of this may seem quite tedious, it will help me write a great paper. 2. Which step in the writing process is the most difficult for you to complete? Why is it difficult? In the writing process the step that I think would be the most difficult for me to complete would be drafting. Drafting is researching, crafting a thesis statement, outlining, and documenting sources. In this phase of the paper majority of the work is done. In researching your paper you have to find information on your topic, keep track of any paraphrases, summaries, and quotations along with their sources. Crafting your thesis statement, this is one sentence that states your opinion on the subject and must be supported by your research. The thesis statement alone takes a lot of work because it needs to be broad enough to include all the supporting points of your paper. In the outlining phase you will be using all the information you have retrieved and form your paper. Documenting your sources is also very important in this stage because you need to make sure if you are using Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Writing Process Analysis I would like to learn more about all of the steps of the writing process and I am sure that I will by reading other class mates writings. I have chosen to investigate step one of the writing process "Survey the archives". Which is the beginning of the writing process. This is a step which I have always struggled with. It is difficult to decide what to write about. At times there are too many choices to write about and I have a hard time narrowing down the appropriate topic. Still other times I can't find interesting facts that go along with the assigned topics. This step can take me a long time. Once I find the topic that fits with the assignment the other steps become easier. I am hoping to make this step much easier. I am going to complete Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Reflection On My Writing Process My writing looks like the game Tetris – I write according to how my ideas flow from my head to my paper. The English 1010 lessons are designed to impact my writing processes and since being in the course I have realized the importance of the process while preparing the paper. While I knew that practice and revisions were important to the writing process, the ideas of writing as inherently collaborative or as an extension of technology were not concepts that I had considered at length. For the assignment, I chose to record myself and reflect on my process. The observation of my writing process and decisions took place in an awkward way. I began sitting at my desk in my dorm with a black ink pen, wide–ruled paper, and the prompt of my essay. It took a good bit of time for the process to begin – all the distractions had to run out, frequent checks on social media, quick trip to the snack machine, and responding to text messages. Finally, it was time to start. I can begin. "Ok, outline" I said to myself. "What's your main point?" And so, I started, pen to paper, writing the three main ideas I knew I wanted to cover in the paper. I did discover, however, that I scratch my head while I am thinking and as I write I would catch myself reading aloud. Following the outline process, I decided to start typing the rough draft. I first started my introduction giving the audience an idea of what the essay will be about. I did not know entirely what I wanted the audience to know so I found myself typing and deleting a lot. I decided to divide the essay in proportions to what I want to explain. I chose to discuss improvements, changes, and goals for the following semester. I noticed I then spent five minutes staring at how I was going to start the explanation. This could be for two reasons – perhaps I needed a break from writing or perhaps I did not take enough time planning. I honestly did not know. I eventually figured out how to gather the information to begin the paper. After typing for fifteen minutes, I realized I repeatedly reviewed the previous typed words constantly. I stopped for a few minutes and reread my entire paper out loud to myself. I was not loud more like soft spoken. The practice allowed me to Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. The First And Hardest Part Of Writing An Essay The first and hardest part of writing an essay is figuring out how to start. A professor may give a topic to be written about, but in some cases that may not happen. The first step is to pick a topic. The topic will serve as your thesis. You want to pick a topic that you are relatively knowledgeable about so you are not completely in the dark. By picking a topic that you know even a little about, will take away the anxiety of not knowing where to start or what to write about. If you chose to challenge yourself and write a paper about something you are novice about, then you want to pick a topic that is broad enough to find enough information about. For example, if you want to write a paper about cars, do not make cars what your paper is about, because although it is a broad topic it is also somewhat narrow. Try to broaden your topic buy changing it to, "how cars have changed our lives." Changing your topic to a more argumentative thesis gives you a pinpoint area to write about and leaves the door open to give you more to write about. The second step, and what I believe to be the most important step is locating sources to support your thesis. A researchessay without sources becomes an opinion essay, and that is what you as the writer want to stay away from. Sources make your essay more creditable. If your essay is about "how technology has benefited students and teachers in the classrooms," then you should find sources that are about how technology is used in Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Writing Process Essay Thank goodness for Mrs. Ewing, my high school writing teacher! She taught me how to be a better writer. She is a strict teacher, but she also knows how to make learning fun, and I think that is why I remember some of the things she taught. For instance, my class did thesaurus drills to see who could come up with the best answer to the word she would give us. Also, Mrs. Ewing was diligent about writing examples as a class on the board before giving us our assignments to ensure everyone knew what was expected of them. She creates a fun learning environment for the class to comprehend the various steps to preparing a successful essay. Determining the topic, if one is not assigned, is the next writing step. While an endless supply of topics is available, guarantee the subject is applicable and compatible to the type of essay that is being written. For example, the topic of pro–life in the abortion debate is not an appropriate topic for a process essay; however, a topic on how to do anything with steps involved, such as writing a paper or building a house, produces excellent choices for a process essay. The theme choice can make or break the composition; therefore, it is important to pick a familiar topic. Sometimes, conducting research is...show more content... This step is extremely important because this helps the writer to organize his thoughts and to put them in a logical order. The guideline can be a simple or as long as necessary. Typically, an outline consists of an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. The body usually consists of a minimum of three points with supporting evidence listed under each point. The more the outline is broken down, the easier the writing process becomes. Then, create a topic sentence which precisely describes what is being discussed in the body of the essay. It is important that the topic sentence is precise and sets the tone of the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. The Writing Process Essay The 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. The writing process is something that you figure out yourself as you go through school. I personally think that is why they make us take English for so many years. Through the years, I found that some teachers forced you to write certain ways. I believe that...show more content... I don't agree with him. The only way for someone to improve his or her writing is if a peer reads over it and explains what could be done to improve it. In The Maker's Eye: Revising Your Own Manuscript, Murray says, 'Writers must learn to be their own worst enemy'; (Murray 87). He is trying to say that when it comes to editing, you must be able to accept criticism from others and be suspicious of it. Just because they say that you should rearrange that paragraph doesn't necessarily mean you have to. The way you wrote the paragraph could be in your own voice. Your papers should be filled with your voice. Voice is what makes your writing personal. But your voice could be different depending on what you write about. I would put a lot more of my feelings in a paper about food, than a paper about how the polar ice caps are melting. Revising and rewriting a paper is a common step in the writing process. Personally, I think your paper would be crap if you skipped these steps but I'm sure someone has done it before. Every writer has revised and rewritten a paper. Do you think that Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet in one shot? I don't think so. In conclusion, writing is up to the writer. If the writer decides to follow the formal writing process, then that's their choice. Nothing should be forced when it comes to writing. Then the writer does not put out their best work possible.

  • 9. Writing Process : Reflective Essay I have chosen to explore the "Writing Process" that I used while drafting my argumentative paper on sloths in the rainforest for this reflective essay. I am choosing this topic and this particular essay because my writing process was a key component to the 'C' I made on the project and how my failure in this particular area lead me to this grade. Looking back, I realized that the grade I received is a perfect reflection of the effort I put into the writing process. I believe that I had the power to make an A if I would have slowed down and completed the essay the right way. From an outline all the way to the final draft I will be reflecting on my paper and the journey I took to complete it. All of my life, people have joked with me about going to law school because of my ability to win an argument about anything. So the second the words "argumentative essay" left my professors lips I was ready. Thoughts immediately flooded my mind with ideas of how I could write the perfect argument. Being a very impulsive person in and out of the classroom I didn't see any down sides to my hastiness and I believed that it was a good thing, almost inspiration. I knew what my topic would be instantly and ideas raced through my mind about how I was going to convince the audience. I was confident in myself and also in my topic, I believed I was born ready to write this argument. When I decided to write about the rainforests and sloths I was overwhelmed with excitement.

  • 10. Writing Process Have you ever been so frustrated writing an essay that you set it aside until the last minute? Well, there can be a way to prevent that. One of the most important parts about writing is the process behind it. An essay should consist of an introduction, a body and a conclusion. Even though the process of writing essays seem very mind boggling, it is actually an easy process if following the correct writing steps. It can be even easier if the writer enjoys the topic of the essay. There are certain steps a writer must take to keep a reader interested while showing enthusiasm for them wanting to learn more. These steps follow a set of guidelines including planning, free writing, revising and editing. When planning an essay, first decide on the...show more content... Depending on how they learn, they may be an "idea mapping" organizer or a "formal outlining" organizer. Idea mapping is a more visual way of creating an outline for an essay, it is when they take their main idea and branch off it with their basic ideas and further branch off with more information. They next main of outlining is the formal outline. This is when a hierarchy of roman numerals, letters and numbers is created to list their main details. Next to the roman numerals they list their main ideas, and next to the letters they list examples and other information to help support what they wrote. In the revising phase, the writer replaces weak or vague words that they may have used in the first draft with stronger, clearer words. At this point they may come up with new paragraphs, improve their thesis, reorganize, add important examples and self experience, or even move sentence around to make the essay flow better. This phase helps the writer improve their essay and re–see their work, there is always room for improvement.

Reflective Essay: The Writing Process "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." – – – Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Throughout the semester I have had to write a number of essays using a variety of techniques. Before college, I would write assuming that the only reader, or audience, would be my teacher. Composition helped me realize the many steps that are involved in the writing process from free writing to making a final copy. In order to create a good paper you need organize your ideas.

Using persuasive techniques has made a changed in my writing because you can say something you said before and transfer it to your writing. One of the techniques I am going to use through out college is talking to different types of audiences. Also, I am going to let others try to help me out with my writing so I can become a better writer. Sure enough, I still need the help from others for me to be able to succeed in English 1302. All the assignments we did were helpful for me to succeed in other courses because I have improved in my writing since we used different kinds of techniques. If we had more time I would like more of the assignments of using different audiences because that's one of my weakness. If I had to retake this course with you again, I would like more of the rhetoric because that exercise was my favorite. This skills are not only going make me succeed in college but also for life. This course has shown me that I am capable of writing in a variety of manners and it has shown me that I am not as strong in some areas as I am in others.

So far, I feel as if I'm doing alright. `When I first begin the writing process I always start by typing out the full story. Personally, I can't sit down and plan what I'm going to write about; formal drafting makes me feel as if I have writers' block. Over the years I have taken bits and pieces of advice about my writing and incorporated those snippets of guidance and suggestions into what my writing style is today. I don't think I'm a bad writer, but I could work on developing more of my essays into "A cakes." In the narrative essay, I chose a topic that most of my peers could relate to and a topic that was very important to me personally.
