Personal Narrative: My Essay And My Writing Process

Decent Essays
Since the first day of semester I have written about fifteen essays and my writing process have changed a little bit. Such as taking less time hand writing my essay and just going to the computer and typing it. But when I still research about what I am going to write about i just don 't hand write it down on a piece of paper. The thing that didn 't change was how I brainstorm my ideas and that is by being in a quiet room and the best time for me to brainstorm my ideas is middle of the day and likes to music playing. I think the biggest thing that have changed is my grammar in my paper before I would have other people look over my paper and they would suggest to change some sentence to make sense. When I am writing my papers the most difficult part of writing for me is how to start paragraphs and the conclusion because I have hard time figuring out what should be in it.

I like to environment to be quiet because for me in a quiet room I could think easy and the ideas come quicker and also I don 't get distracted by other people in the room. In the middle of the day is the best time for me to start writing because that is the time when I am finally awake and the ideas flow easy. If I would start writing a paper early in the morning I wouldn 't get much done because it is too early for my brain to work and it probably be nonsense. If I started to write my paper late at night I would fall asleep because I would be too tired to think of anything or I would procrastinate. I also like to sit at my desk when I write my essays because when I am sitting on my bed I would just fall asleep or get lazy and procrastinate to do my draft. So it is best of me to write my essays on my

    The way I planned my paper was by writing a first draft. I picked a topic and then began to do some research. After finding the research I then started to write, not caring about my grammar or some of the words used. I find this to be the easiest for me to get my paper flowing with ideas and for me to effectively manage my time. My essay topic I chose to write about is argumentative, so I chose a topic that I feel can be debated (Hasa, 2015).…

    I do this in order to gain a clear understanding of what the paper is asking of me. Next, I consult all the materials given, or collected by me, to begin to form an idea about what I want my paper to state. Then I start my outline. Outlining is a pretty simple process for me it usually includes headings that state the main idea of the paragraph with bullet points of supporting detail.…

    When I was a child I always though about business. I wanted to know how things worked, how money worked. I started watching my grandfather write his invoices, deposit checks, talk to people as if he knew them but they had just met.

    I try to begin my essay in a good way so I can have a strong thesis statement. Making a strong thesis statement and a conclusion gives me some trouble.

    My writing process usually involves me prewriting, planning, drafting and then editing. I often try to revise the paper while I’m writing it, which often seems to create more problems as I stop my thought process on what I was writing and focus on something else. While this has slowed me down, it has never stopped me from finishing something. I have always had an easy time writing in an environment where I don’t have any tight restrictions and can write freely about ideas for characters, stories, and worlds. I usually have trouble coming up with the right words when I’m required to write about very specific topics or ideas.…

    I learned that all the prewriting is not the same there are different formats of writing. I haven't learned which essay writing best fits me. I believe that the one that fits me the most is the free writing because I can just write down anything and continue without stopping. I can write to whatever comes to mind and even though it doesn't make any sense I still write it down I feel that most of my best writing comes from free style writing. I can only do my best when I feel that I am able to more work under pressure and that I can relieve a lot of my stress by writing.…

    I have always struggled with writing essays and they’ve never come easily to me. I used to sit in my room, in the middle of the night, just staring at a screen, for what would feel like hours.

    Feeling comfortable and at ease is a must for me. Without those two feelings I would have no desire to want to begin to write. I prefer writing during the day versus writing during the night. Writing at night time just makes me really sleepy, and being sleepy and staring at a computer screen is not a good combination. Being able to sit next to a window and seeing my surroundings with sunlight beaming in is soothing for me.…

    Over the first semester I feel I have been appropriately challenged in the area of writing we have done this year. I learned many new skills, but the most important one involves English and how to write properly. As for the first writing, I really did not understand what was right and what was wrong. Because I never paid close attention to specific rules in how to write. I truly believe it has been hard for me.…

    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…
