Writer

I have always loved writing because it was a way to express myself without having to talk to other people about my thoughts and feelings. I’m fairly certain that my love for writing really started in the 6th grade, which was one of the worst years of my life. That was the year I was severely bullied by girls who were higher up on the popularity totem pole than myself. They played sports and all the teachers loved them, so a lot of them looked past what they said about me in class. It got to the…

He wrote “A Way of Writing” discussing his definition of a writer, someone who uses a process to achieve an end result. For an end result, a creation that comes from confidence, stray impulses with trust, and find patterns are from a satisfying result. Stafford’s personal process involves being receptive, and willing…

writing. Freewriting is not only for beginners, but for skilled ones too since it can help them get even more out of it. By using this type of writing, writers tend to write what comes into their heads even if it’s nothing important. Just as long as they keep on writing so they can get ideas into their heads. The authors mention that a writer can spend time writing, but in the end it comes out to be horrible. Sometimes just by not thinking or putting much time in an essay it can come out to…

into. I actually just hoped for the best. As class progressed and we read Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg book, I was hooked. It was such a magical book. Everytime I opened it, I was transported into a coveted world of writers, full with secrets only writers know and I felt welcomed to know those secrets. In one of the readings, Natalie Goldberg said, anything ordinary can be extraordinary. This phrase stuck with me. Scribbling itself over and over in my memory. At first, I thought,…

are some mistakes in specifying the audience, integrating sources, making a deep analysis, and organizing the structure of the paper. The writer of the draft could have made more analysis than summary, which is explaining the effectiveness of Jaschik’s use of the referred rhetorical choices. To give an example of illustrations as rhetorical choice, the writer mentions the episode in Jaschik's text where the instructor assigns her students an assignment to purposely plagiarize. However, he does…

Having practice on something challenging everyday will in turn make the students better writers. I also liked that the authors mentioned using these messages as assessments. This is helpful to see if the students are strong in one area and weak in another. Parents can also see their child’s writing progress everyday, which keeps parents up to…

When I was trying to expand my writing ability, I found that the process can be very difficult, as well as, frustrating. When the writing is done properly it can change the views of millions. I benefited a lot from The Bedford Guide for College Writers 10th edition textbook. I learnt how to reach out to certain audiences. For instance, when I wrote my cause and effect essay…

Linda Flower says that “a good piece of writing closes the gap between you and the reader” (184). Meaning that the writer is able to make the reader see things the way the writer does. The writing process is generally long and requires constant revision. I would characterize my writing process as lacking in essential qualities, but improvable by taking more time during planning and revising, and thinking about the needs of my reader. I start my writing process in the comfort of my own room. I…

made me feel happy that I can write and not having to worry about what should I write about or that I might not get to finish a paper or an assignment because I can’t think of anything to put in the paper or maybe finishing the paper. I am a free writer, so whatever comes to my mind, I write it down. I have always wondered about the process, steps needed to write a piece of literacy, whether it was a book, magazine or even an article. With that it inspired me to start writing more and see if I…

Once I began English 101 I will admit that I was worried that I wouldn 't meet the expectations of college writing. In my past high school career I did well as a writer but many times have I been told that I lack a handful of writing skills. Such as grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and as we called it flow. I wasn’t able to keep my readers attention and I felt as if my writing skills were below average. As I began my first semester of college I was anxious about how I would turn out in…
