My Reflection On The Writing Process

Decent Essays
This course emphasized the importance of making time to reflect on the writing progress we had learned within this class. Specific techniques, strategies, and processes that would help me succeed became apparent as the course went on. The reflections made to my own writing and my peers was one of the most important parts because I learned from my own mistakes, as well as others. Good written works are first thoroughly structured with outlines for the written work and the research. For example, one of our first discussion posts "Developing Research Questions" made me think of a question that I was interested in researching and ultimately answering within my first project. This provided the direction in which my first project would ultimately

    Coming into English 101, I really did not know what to expect. This was my first college writing class so I had no idea what it was going to be like. In high school I would have considered myself to be a decent writer, not the best or not the worst.

    My experiences with writing have been somewhat limited until I signed up for English 101. I have to admit that English was not my favorite subject in school. I never felt like I was any good at writing, and spelling is still not my strong suit. I always felt like I was better at math. My attitude towards writing was my biggest hindrance to my success.…

    Prewriting is the beginning stage of the writing process, and there are some things I like to do before I am prepared to write the opening statement. The best way I start is by asking myself the question of, what should I be writing about? Figuring out what is the topic or theme of what I am writing about is one of them. If I choose something that moves you in some way, my writing is more likely to be interesting to the reader. So, “Why would I want to write about it?”…

    I would begin an essay by brainstorming like in project one the effective moments in my life, project two the obvious things I see in the photo, and project four the topic of my choice. I would write out everything I need for the certain essay and every idea that could be some way connected to my writing process. I would complete bullet points of my idea without putting them in complete sentences. In addition, while making bullets I think about whom am I delivering this paper to or how would my audience react to my writing and if they find it meaningful. After all ideas and details are put down onto paper; I will continue to form sentences making a response to my bullets, eventually typing my body paragraph out trying to solve that “so what…

    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.…

    At the beginning of the semester, I viewed myself as a creative writer. After attending this class I realized that there is a lot more that goes into writing an essay, or a research paper, than just creativity alone. I have learned that it is very important to be aware of my strengths and weaknesses in my writing. Taking this class has helped me understand the strengths and weaknesses in my writing skills, and it has given me the opportunity to strengthen the areas in which I was weak. An example of this is that I have become aware of my grammar and spelling errors as the semester progressed.…

    I understand the importance of proof reading, researching, editing and composing my writing to create a higher quality than before I commenced this course. Effective writing is being aware of the value of taking an audience into consideration, as a writer I have learnt the importance of staying on target with your chosen audience. I found once I became personally motivated to write and pushed all doubts aside the words began to flow onto the paper. “Whatever the teaching, the writers are on their own, drawing on their experience of life, of language and of story to make meaning. Writing their story is an act of self-expression and self-validation.…

    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…
