I would like to start off by explaining that this paper is going to be breaking all the rules that you have previously been taught by Mr. James McFadden. I will try my best to use proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. I might be in college, but I am not an English professor.

I learned how to edit various steps in my process of composing an essay to be able to revise the essay effectively before the deadline.The class was also required to create a schedule which outlined the various steps in the writing process. This schedule helped me to complete the essay with sufficient time to revise and peer edit and decreased the stress of being able to finish the essay on the deadline…

Everyone has his or her own writing process. I believe that my writing process is ambitious because even though I struggle sometimes trying to get started, I don’t panic because I know that I will figure it out eventually.

After receiving feedback from both Mr. Sherrill and my classmates’ peer reviews, I need to begin working on my final edit of my project. In this final edit, I propose that I address three crucial areas of concern. The areas of concern being solidifying my argument, explaining my excerpt, and developing better transitions.

This process also helps the writer make sure before showing anyone what they have written, they have gotten everything they would like for the…

Writing Life This sucks! That is what I would have said a couple of years ago. Writing has become more important to me in the last couple of years. When I was younger I would write here and there of just stories, but when it came to writing an assignment, I never wanted to do it. From when I was young to now I still have not written a lot. I tend to struggle to complete my own works, but when it came to school all I needed to do was research in order to write what I thought was a good paper. I…
