Process Essay: Composing Process Of My Writing

Improved Essays
Composing Process I recently started back to school after many years of working. Although assigned writing is a little stressful for me, I am attempting to get used to it. I like to think I am a fun person to talk to, however I do not feel I am an entertaining writer by any means. Writing is a great challenge to me because writing restricts facial expressions, tone of voice and hand gestures in which I use very frequently while speaking. This poses a problem as I try to organize and arrange sentences to reflect how I would actually say them in person. I do not really have a firm routine when writing or preparing to write, but there are a few things that I do to help me to think about and process my writing tasks.
The hardest part of writing to me is to decide on an interesting subject matter that I will want to spend a copious amount of time on. After finding the right subject I struggle with the task of beginning the paper and then knowing when and how to end it. While writing, I do not have a problem wrinkling up a project and starting completely over. This has not happened often, but I don’t mind it and I think of it as starting anew, with fresh ideas on a new slate. To begin my writing process, I will usually be in my bedroom with several pillows behind my back as I sit on my bed. The bedroom light and the bedside lamp are both on to allow as much light as possible to work with. I seem to be more productive late in the evening and unfortunately at bedtime. I feel this is because the busy day has ended and my thoughts can solely be on my task

    In regards to my writing process, there have been some central strategies that I have developed over time and some strategies that I have had for as long as I can remember. For example, one skill that I have developed from high school has been to annotate, mark up, and take notes throughout my readings. I found that taking notes really helps me, not only to remember what I read but to go back and be able to point out something in my reading easily. In addition, it helped me understand the readings better.…

    The most crucial step of my writing processes is letting my mind go wild and my fingers move freely. Whenever I write anything, I always let myself write whatever is on my mind at that exact second. Even if it doesn’t make 100% sense or isn’t exactly on topic, I’ll type it out. When I was writing my essay, I didn’t stop to fix anything until the very end. When I finished writing, I looked for mistakes.…

    It seems it is as though good thoughts come in short bursts and it is hard to have a good story revolve around one great moment. With that said, I try to keep good ideas and piece them together one by one to create something manageable. Sometimes it works out just fine, but the majority of the time these ideas become scrapped and are recycled for something else entirely. I have a habit of writing with music, the sounds encompass a tone that I wish to put down on paper. Certain beats and sounds trigger a specific response in my thoughts and in turn as I write down my thoughts my writing becomes more fluid thanks to the music.…

    Writing is an art; we create our thoughts in your mind and express it on paper. Once we start writing we keep getting new ideas and when we re-read what we wrote, sometimes it might surprise us. I like to write during early mornings or in the evening when it is quiet. My reading table is facing towards the window so when fresh air is in my room, fresh ideas generate inside me as well. I make sure to have some healthy snacks and a bottle of water in front me…

    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. Wondering, “When am I going to finish this paper, or even, start it?” The writing process is lengthy and has many steps, such as reading, brainstorming, creating an outline and a rough draft, editing, and finally having a final draft. These steps can help anyone write a decent and fully developed paper.…

    By looking back at my writing experiences, I can tell that writing does not come naturally to me and find it to be a real challenge. I may think I did well while writing but in reality I did horrible. It takes me a while to write a paper then other people and there tends to be plenty of problems that try to slow me down. One of the hardest problems I have while writing is trying to find the right words to say. Every time I write I always take longer than anyone else because I always second guess what I just wrote and have to rewrite what I am trying to say.…

    I have always considered my relationship with writing to be very insignificant. Although I enjoy spending time verbally expressing my thoughts and feelings to others, it becomes difficult when these thoughts and feelings are expressed through writing. Throughout my adolescent years, I would often receive feedback for my writing given by the teacher in the form of a grade. Being unable to effectively organize my thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, I would feel reluctant to continue writing confidently whenever I received an undesirable grade.…

    Over the course of this semester I learned a handful of things about myself as a writer, that will help me develop as a more proficient writer over the course of my four years here. As a writer one of my strengths is backing up my argument with solid and concrete evidence that truly makes the reader believe what they are reading. Another area of my writing that I excel in is being able to process great ideas that follow the guidelines and the prompt. With that being said I have also seen that while the ideas may come with ease, I do have a challenging time with getting the ideas from my head onto paper in a manner that isn’t so disorganized that it makes the reader second guess themselves. Another shaky part of my writing comes much before the actual forming of sentences.…
