In media re is really important to the writing process, it helps grab the reader’s attention and make the reader want to keep reading to know the full story of what is going on. To really start an in media res story you have to start where the main point of the story is or where all the excitement happens. I learned that just to interest the reader it is always good to start with an in media res. I also learned that an in media res can be used to organize and draft the essay. In media res starts out in the middle of the things, then after the in media res, the begging of the story starts. In media res took me a while to actually learn and understand it to the

    The way I move through my own writing process is simple. I always start with research on a specific topic that an instructor gives me. I’m that kind of person that loves to highlight the important details of someone else’s information so I can admire her or his work in my papers. Then after finding the right amount of work to compose my own paper I start out with a title page. I’m a person that likes something bold. What I mean by bold is something that is distinctive something that describes me as a writer. However, after the title page I figure out what information is the most important and broad enough to write about. Therefore, I will provide a great introduction so I can draw in my readers while giving them the details that will formulate…

    My mind feels like a 1000 piece puzzle missing a piece. I can’t simply find the right words to say to start this paper. It is always like this when freewriting; the idea of freewriting in and of itself frightens me. Never able to put the words in my head onto paper in a way that it can be read eloquently by others. My hands start to cramp automatically at the idea of freewriting. My eyes dart around the room looking for any inspiration to that can light the spark off in my brain. Nothing does though. It’s hard to write freely after years of structured writing to a specific set of questions in a way that will only please your teacher of that year. But I try despite all the obstacles in my way.…

    In this seminar the three key points I would like to talk about is to always look at the examples for discussion boards and assignments, where to go and learn how to cite resources correctly and the different steps you can take for your topic. When I am unsure of what is required for a post or paper I can always go look at the example to read one. After I see an example I can have an idea of what to wrote about.

    At the beginning of this English course, I was so nervous and scared that I would fail. I do not think I have ever been a good writer. It has always terrified me because I have difficulty putting my thoughts down on paper. This course has proven to be highly inspiring to me as well as frightening. It has really taught me more about the understanding of the writing process and structure, in which helped me to not focus so much on the actual writing parts. Not focusing so much on the writing, helped me to really release my thoughts down on paper because I was worried more about the structure, organization, and proper formatting. I have accomplished a lot over this course I once believed to be unattainable. With my newfound knowledge and experiences…
