Jesika Anderson WR 121 My personal writing style is generally very casual; my brainstorming process really only includes getting any ideas (if any) I need to further a topic or to flesh it out beyond what it began as. As with brainstorming, my drafting is minimal and almost never done in longhand, my ideas flow faster than I can write them out, so I almost always need to type which I can do at a much faster (and legible) rate. I write, and then edit the process from there, going through two or three edits before a final piece is produced. Research happens while I write or while I brainstorm. Either because I need to confirm the idea is interesting during brainstorming or I need to confirm/cite during writing.

In my more creative pieces, such as my short story and poems, I used a lot of imagery, similes and metaphors in order to create a vivid picture in the readers mind. This was in contrast to the rest of my pieces, in which I used more personal stylistic elements that conveyed my inner thoughts.

In the beginning of the course I felt like I was an “ok” writer, but lacked some skills such as: organization, sentence variety, and vocabulary. Also, I did not like to write and had a feeling of dislike when forced to write. I felt like I improved on everything I wanted and was seen throughout the semester. I know how to organize my ideas, the worksheets given in class to work on sentence variety really helped, and vocabulary was built on some level.
