Personal Narrative: The Writing Process

Decent Essays
I gained those skills by making time to ask for help when I need because I found out that closed mouths don't get fed and I think that's whats the hardest parts with most students, but when you practice on doing things like that then you will eventually not notice and It will be something that just needs to be done. The writing process for me is always hard because it is a battle with me and myself. If I get get distracted one good time, then that makes it harder for me to focus.

I have also gotten better at the habit of being an honest and focused student athlete even though I have an f in English but sometimes we all just need to be sat down and realize what's important because we might be moving to fast. In PE I have grown to be a leader

    Like most people who share the state of conciousness, I am prone to day dream. I often float away on the soft clouds of my fantasies, drifting high above reality in the vast blue sky. As a writer, these fanciful mental journeys sometimes lead me to imagine what my perfect writing environment would look like. I am not alone in this wistful contemplation; many other authors, painters, and musicians join me in exploring this mental path, each envisioning their own versions of the ideal creative escape. Some yearn for extravagant spaces, like a sprawling historical library, or a high tech office.…

    My writing experience: I didn’t start to read until I was in first grade. Every week we would go to library to check-out two books and take a test on the books we read on a computer. Every day in English we read a short story to ourselves then we would play games dealing with the story to make it fun. To be honest I never really did a lot of writing in Elementary , Middle, or High school so I can’t pinpoint when I started writing. In essay writing I learned its always good to express yourself with your own opinion.…

    Introduction Looking back at my essays from my first semester in Composition I, I can definitely see that I have improved tremendously. My learning from my Composition II was not so much about learning concepts, but it was more about improving what I already learned last semester, and adding onto it. Compared to last semester, my learning this semester came from paying attention to details, following the rules, and adapting to a new teaching style. While last semester, my learning came from new concepts like ethos, pathos, logos and knowing what they are and how they work.…
