You get better at any skill through practice, and creative writing prompts are a great way to practice writing… or so they say. I’m not a great writer, by any means, but I have always felt more comfortable writing non-fiction pieces, and I’d like to change that. I’d like to become more creative and work on finding my voice and hone my technical skills and to do that I decided to start a writing challenge with my mother.

    The Process of Effective Writing Green (2011) states that APA and good writing is a long term process (p.69). The writing process has always been difficult for me.

In order to write effectively at the graduate level, I will need to refer to the various writing resources that are made available. According to Green (2011)... graduate assignments need to reflect the appropriate level of critical thinking relative to the degree.…

    When entering college and finishing my first essay, I realized my process wasn’t good enough in order to write a good essay. When doing my first narrative and comparing my narrative to the article “Thirty-eight who saw murder,” my process was reading thoroughly over the article and writing a reading report of the reading which it was included in the beginning of my introduction as seen in the image below. Afterwards, I just started finishing my introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. In addition, when finishing my first draft I revised it as well as from my instructor as shown in the black marks below. From the individual conference with my instructor, it is shown in the image that I needed to fix almost my whole introduction.…

    My personal interest in NYU’s dramatic writing program stems from an adolescence spent on the fringes of normal. Growing up as the shy, smart black girl in small-town Virginia, I found myself scouring the television or school library desperate to find someone like me, desperate to share in my otherness. But I couldn’t find her. She was trapped in a rejection letter due to her lack of urban flair. Or she was relegated to only providing sassy quips behind the fairer-skinned lead.…

    My writing process coming into junior year was quite flawed and would go moderately like this: I would try and start with some hook that at least sounded like it related to the topic I was assigned. I then added a thesis that did not sound like total trash that included exactly what I planned to discuss. As I wrote the rest of my essays, I would sometimes realize there was something I felt added to the argument’s appeal, and after adding it to the body paragraphs, I summed it up in a couple words and squeezed it into my thesis. That was about the maximum amount of revising I would do for my essays. My decently crafted essays contained simple diction with a few SAT words I remembered while writing thrown in awkwardly.…

    Wind bustled through the branches of the trees, making the leaves howl in their symphony. Walking along the gravel path in the woods makes you realize how intricate the clash between weather and nature can be. Two natural forces both in harmony and constantly fighting.
