Personal Narrative: My Writing Experience

Decent Essays
Writing experience I have too many writing experiences, but the hardest was my first essay. It was hard to move from paragraphs to essays. Because I used to write at maximum three hundred words, and essays is about seven hundred words. That mean I need more materiel to write the essay. When I start writing it I didn’t know the first step on how to put an essay together. Every time I would start I would tear the paper up and have to start all over again. I knew what I wanted to say, but didn't know how to put my ideas together. It took me some time to write it down and I got a low grade for it. But by the time I finished my semester I become better in writing essays. I have learned how to pick the right topics, and how to organize my points,

    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 had to identify what was hindering my writing and understand that maybe it was either time for me to adapt the rule to the situation at hand or get rid of it altogether. The first portion of Who You Are As A Writer, Portrait of a Writer, allowed me to think about what rules I use during my writing consciously and subconscious; it also me look back at past experiences that have shaped my writing process.…
