Writing process

Research Paper: What is the writing process? There’s five steps to writing: prewriting, writing, revision, editing, and publishing. The purpose of this process is so that the writer can organize their thoughts correctly, so when the paper is actually being written, it is being written with much more ease than just simply skipping the whole process and writing the paper. It is taught in schools to help students to produce effective writing skills (“What is the Writing Process?”). Although…

The writing process is different for everyone. Some people may skip a few steps and others may throw in some extra. I personally believe that my process is most effective for me and my style of writing. My general process is to understand the prompt, know the audience, research, outline, write a rough draft, edit, and write a final draft. First I make sure to fully grasp my prompt. Personally I like to read through my prompt a few times. When doing this I look for three things: What is the…

Writing for me is a biological process. This is the best analogy I can think of for why and how I write. Initially there is the basic autonomic writing, that inhales like a thought and exhales like a note: “take out the trash” or “buy milk and butter”. Then there is the slightly more complicated procedure of writing that is intended to communicate with others. This becomes somatic rather than autonomic. It requires that your eyes respond to what you have seen, and your ears to what you have…

I will begin by sharing my writing process. Generally, I will always write while sitting at my computer, in my office. There will be five or more English Springer Spaniels competing for my attention at times. When this becomes overwhelming I will relocate to the living room, and change over to using my laptop. My thumbs beating on the mouse control cause havoc at times, which is why this is not my favorite place to write. The time of day varies, but morning is my best time to write, as long as I…

processor talked about a part of the writing center where I can go learn more about citing my resources. This will come in handy because I still struggle with citing my resources so for now on the writing center will be seeing more of me. Lastly the processor talked about the steps to find your topic. There is so many different…

Analyzing my writing process Writing is tough. Putting your thoughts on the paper can be hard, especially you if you don’t know what your thoughts are. It’s hard to find your voice when you don’t know what you want to say, and how you want to say it. As an inexperienced writer, I often find myself looking at a blank page on my computer and wondering what my point is and how I will be able to express it. Sometimes it’s hard to explain your thoughts to others if they are not clear in your mind…

During this semester, I have drastically changed as a writer. Either from how I write or my process of writing. Some of the best advice I got this year was from our conference over the literacy narrative. When you recommended using multiple shorter sentences rather than have my paper full of long and run on sentences. In my first essay, I wrote, “My grandpa is a hardcore conservative, born and raised in Alabama, spent most of his life there, also serving in the military, while he is now an…

Looking in between the lines These pieces we read relate to the writing process by getting students to have a better understanding and connecting with the passage. Adler writes that he wants us to read between the lines and look closely at the text we are reading. I used to underline and mark in my book a lot in highschool. I had a lot of success in my English classes when I marked up my books. It is important to think and write like Scudder, because he pays close attention to the…

My writing process is similar to the typical high schooler, except like the typical high schooler I have no idea what my process is. Having to slow down and think about your process before writing can be complicated due to the fact that I am thinking about what I doing naturally. Hopefully I will be able to fully break down my process and use what I learn from that to improve my writing. My process starts with me focusing on a prompt whether it’s given to me or I have to create one myself.…

Writing on a graduate level takes lots practice and time, but finding a scholarly voice first is key. A scholarly voice is the tone in which the writer chooses to express in their written work. Academic writing should never be dull in tone; the language should not be boring. It should be very engaging, clear to the reader who knows nothing about the topic you are writing about. Knowing your target audience is a critical part of the writing process. Writing on a graduate level should be…
