Reflective Essay Process: 3 Steps To My Writing Process

Decent Essays
I did not have a writing process; I just write what came to me. But when I was reading the text book I was starting to realize that my writing process was like a lot of peoples writing process. The writing process that the text book describes is easy to follow, it gives you 1,2,3 steps so you don’t get lost when you start to write. When it comes to comparing my writing process to my text books writing process we have a lot in common for example, if you have ideas it says to narrow your topic can be manageable to readers this can be done by gathering your information and organizing it. When it comes to freewriting or looping that is what I do most of the time a long with browsing my sources. When I ask …show more content…
How we get ideas are all different I like to watch TV, Melissa likes to clear her mind while listening to music, Allison drives or vacuums, and Johanna likes quite around her. Another thing is Allison, Johanna, and Melissa said what the most effective thing is about their writing process is their organization while mine is just putting everything I think in one place until it makes sense to me and others. If we get stuck in our writing process Allison walks away and comes back to it later, Johanna keeps reading what she wrote until her ideas flow again, Melissa does what Allison does and walks away, I listen to music. I have learned from the team what different people do when writing. I will learn somethings from them but I always will go to the writers and text book I know. I will improve my writing by writing papers for my class and listening to my instructor’s comments on what I do wrong. One thing that I will do more is to ask questions on my punctuation, I have great ideas but my punctuation is not that great. I look forward to learning in this class about things like

    To me, writing is just ok, nothing special. It definitely isn’t something I get excited about. My first formal writing class was in 6th grade, where we followed The Institute for Excellence in Writing’s curriculum. My fellow classmates and I mainly wrote short, 1-3 paragraph reports on various historical topics. I did well in these classes, I just never really enjoyed the process of writing.…

    Whether we know it or not in this modern society we are writers everyday of our lives. These interactions shape not only how we communicate but how we write as well. Personally, I have been shaped by the influence of both other writers I have known and those I have only read the creations of. Those same influences contributed to both my writing style in the classroom and to my identity as a writer. I spent a lot of my childhood with my nose deep in fiction novels at near by libraries.…

    To be completely honest I have mixed feelings about writing and I don’t really have any memorable experiences that made me feel this way, it is just the experiences that I have had with the subject while trying to apply it. I struggle with what to write down mostly and creativity in general and I don’t really excel at any part of it. If I were to say I “excel” at anything it would be revising my work and adding to it. At the end of the semester I hope that I have relearned some key writing elements that lack of practice has caused me to lose.…

    The writing process is different and unique to all individuals; many people follow the ideal steps of prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing as opposed to others taking shortcuts, skipping steps, and going straight to editing. The writing process is the course one takes to get from prewriting to the publication of their essay; since everyone is a different, their writing process will also be different. For me, I believe that following the ideal writing process steps are a tremendous help to organizing my essay and spacing out the work throughout the time the assignment is assigned. To begin writing an essay I must first prewrite; to prewrite is to brainstorm ideas from the prompt by outlining, diagramming, clusterings, or…

    When I was young I was never the best at reading even though my parents owned many books and magazines that they read on a daily basis. My mother enjoyed reading her gossip magazines that she would receive in the mail once a month and my father had a whole bookshelf full of history books. My parents would always encourage me to read the books I would check out at the school library to improve my reading and writing but that advice usually went in through one ear and out the other. The only books I would really attempt to read had to be humorous or horrifying, my favorites were the Goosebumps collection. I loved reading these books alone in my room where I couldn’t be sidetracked by all the commotion that went on in my house.…
