The writing process is something everybody does whether or not they know they do it. Everyone 's writing process is different. Now let me tell you about my writing process.
The first step to the writing process is to analyze the question. When I analyze the question I like to sit and think for a few minutes. I do my best thinking when I am in the bathroom or in the shower. Some of my best ideas come from those places. I also like to attempt to write my essay in my head. This gets the ideas flowing in my head, however I usually forget them unless I write them down.
The second step is to research. Most of the essays I have been required to write this year do not require me to research anything. However, the few I had to do research for I used …show more content…

Planning is the hardest step for me because I have a very busy schedule. Between cheer, track, clubs, and work I don’t have much down time during the week. The weekends work best for me when it comes to writing papers. However, If there is not a weekend in between the time the paper is assigned and when it is due I will pick a day and plan my activities around that day. I like to write my whole paper at one time, so as long as I have one day set aside I should always have it done before its due day. For this paper I planned on writing it the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, but other plans got in the way and I had to write it the following …show more content…

This last step of the writing process is to edit. When I edit, the first thing I do is run it through and online proofreader. Sometimes the proofreader finds all the mistakes, but sometimes it doesn 't. Since I cannot fully trust the online proofreader, I like to read my paper out loud to each parent individually. Reading it multiple times out loud helps me catch little mistakes. It also helps me hear if a certain part is flowing well together. If something doesn 't sound right, then I usually ask my mom for her input. Also, if a paper is very important to me, I will take it to my old cheer coach because she is an English teacher and has her doctorate degree.
Although I am very comfortable with my writing process, I know that there is always room to improve. One way I could improve mine is planning two different days to write my paper. This would give me a safety net just in case something urgent came up on the day I originally planned on writing my paper. Another way I could improve my writing process is by using actually books when I have to research something. I could cross- reference the information I find on the internet with what is in a book. This would help me make sure that the information I am presenting is all

Most people have an issue with reviewing over their paper and thinking that it’s good enough to the reader. Don’t be selfish review your paper, and think about the reader.

The goal in writing is to be able to clearly get your message onto paper and have the reader understand it in a certain way while also being unique and concise. I oftentimes found myself lost before even starting. Throughout my time in English 1010 I have noticed that my writing style has changed, I no longer walk into writing with no direction but rather have taken the techniques and strategies I was taught and used them to develop my own process and a sort of blueprint that I use to make sure that I am writing to the correct people as well as making sure that the message get across clearly. Finally, one of the most significant changes I have made to my own process is having my paper read by someone else. Peer review is an important step in

Prior to attending UCI, my writing and drafting process was fairly simple: first finding quotes that I could analyze thoroughly and was related to the prompt, write down basic commentary for each including literary devices present, form a working thesis based of my commentary, and then go straight into writing it in paragraph form. I would usually only have one draft of my papers that I would continually update until I turned in the final draft. Many of my English instructors in high school focused more upon understanding analysis rather than the process of writing a strong paper. Therefore, my process worked for all four years of English courses, getting either an A or B in the class. However, the flaws in my process would become exposed once I tried to apply them in Writing 39B. Diction, imagery, and literary devices present only within the realm of the novel is one piece of the puzzle.

When it comes to writing a paper, letter, thank you card, etc., it is difficult for me. The reasons why writing is hard for me is because, a lot of times when I write I get distracted by, other people, thinking about something else on my mind, instead of what I am writing, finishing up my chores, etc. Also, when I write my grammar is incorrect, for example, pronoun errors. In other words, “Everybody don’t care if they hate it or not.” That was wrong, but the correct way to write it is, “Everybody don’t care if he or she hates it or not.”

The types of writing that I enjoyed the most are the Late Start Supported Opinion Paragraph and Persuasive because I like to inform or explain the subject to the reader and stating my opinion to influence the reader. The types of reading that I found difficult are narrative because sometimes the author wouldn’t give a clear explanation such as the events and where the setting takes place. I can use the writing process to generate and organize ideas and produce first drafts, revised drafts and final polished pieces of writing because I would organize my ideas on my rough copy before proceeding to the good copy. I have knowledge of various writing forms: summary, opinion, news report and a reflection because I would search it up to get an idea of the writing forms before I start to work on it. I am working on the ability to communicate with different audiences and purposes because sometimes I would get confused with my topic and I wouldn’t know what I am doing.

Yes, my feelings change about the creature from chapter 5-6. At first, I believed that the monster deserved kindness and happiness and most of all sympathy. In Chapter 5 the monsters kindness showed and he would help anyone in need but in return, they run and believe of him as a monster. It was unfair because people judge a book by its cover and never got to know what he was doing nor who he was. At the end of chapter 5, the monster was actually trying to make friends but what kept him from doing that was because he believed that they would run away from the very sight of him but since the old man was blind he couldn't judge him from the way he looked he thought he had the chance to be happy.

I Agree free writing is a good prewriting technique to use. Which is writing down every though that comes to mind. I use this technique all the time when I need ideas for a paper that I am writing.

The comments from my instructor, the online material, my research, the online writing center and comments from other students in the discussion boards have helped me so much to improve my writing skills. In the writing process, the step that I feel I have improved a lot is editing, as I am constantly reading my writings and editing them as I finish them, over and over again before I publish them. The steps in the writing process that I like the most are finding a topic in the Pre-writing step and Drafting. I like having a lot of ideas floating around and think about which idea is the best and the most exciting topic to talk about.

Also not leaving people wondering about what is happening makes a good piece of writing. I know when I have written something well, when I feel very confident in it. As I’m reading through it, I want to keep reading it. Also when I don’t feel the need to go back and add more words or details because I already had. That is how I know when I have written my best.

We wrote four paper assignments this quarter, two of them about the story we read in class, one from a story and outside material and one about English 101 class at itself which is this paper. We must submit the rough draft before the due date of the assignment, which helps us to have clarification from our instructor and from a classmate. I am always improving after each paper I wrote, because I follow up with the comment I received, edit my paper then make an appointment with my instructor before I submit my final draft. These comments make me feel confident in the next paper. Writing in something that you can improve your knowledge and the way of thinking, comparing to my papers, I will discuss how I developed revisions strategies, learned proper citation, and how pre-writing can help improve my writing.
