Personal Narrative: My First English Essay

My First English Essay This is my first essay in this class and its nerve wrecking. The fact that it counts so much as a grade makes me sweat. I 'll tell you some of the techniques I use that helped me write this essay. Like what made it easier for me to write it, or how I composed the essay, and what helped when I got writers block.

With paper and pen if you make a mistake you would have to cross out the information and rewrite it all over again. With Microsoft Word Processor you can move sentences around by clicking copy and paste to where your want. Even copy and paste a whole paragraph. Getting started with this essay was very hard for me. I had a hard time with the introduction paragraph. I wrote all of my essay first. Then I went back and then tried to cross things out and add new sentences. When it becomes hard to read because you corrected and added sentences then I number the paragraphs and the paragraphs that I cross more things out in in I just rewrite it. If I think two paragraphs need to go together I number them both with the same number. My system seems to work out pretty good to me but to someone else they might have a hard time following
