My writing process all depends on what I am writing. Some writings I can sit down and write the whole things and be done with it, while others can take me multiple days or even weeks. I normally sit down and work on it until I finish, get tired of it, or a hit a roadblock. I try to stop when I feel like I am writing the same thing over and over or if I feel like I just need a break. Most of the time, if I feel like I am writing and it is really bad, it is because it is and I need to take a break and come back to it later. Working on it in pieces normally works well for me, to break it up and take it a little bit at a time. I normally struggle when I do not like what I am writing about or when I run out of information to put in my writing. I…
My writing process is usually all over the place, I have to be in my room with my door shut, my music on, my fan on, and my television on, weird, I know, but that is what I have to do in order to keep myself concentrated. After I am all situated I begin by writing down different ideas on a couple sheets of paper, listing ways I could support this idea and how it relates to my topic, sometimes when I am stuck I look up sample essays online to help me out of my rut. Once I finally choose an idea I start writing the first things that pop into my head down on another sheet of paper, it usually ends up being a jumbled mess that only I can understand. After all of my ideas are laid out onto the paper I begin placing numbers beside them so I know…

Before starting this unit, I did not think about my writing skills or did not know everyone has a writer's identity. Initially, I did not realise emailing or texting a friend would be considering writing. I just saw it as a way to socialise with others.

This research assignment has been a quite challenging assignment for me. The overall writing process has been the most difficult. Coming up with a draft was the first step in my writing process. I kept writing and every time I would go back, changes were made. I revised many paragraphs and run on sentences. In the beginning, I began to procrastinate because I did not even want to think about such a complex seeming assignment. After my meeting with Professor Klein, she gave me a lot of good feedback and ideas on how to start strongly. After my meeting, I started my essay on a better track and got a few pages complete. After the peer review session in-class, I learned a lot from my peers. My classmates thankfully gave me appropriate, last minute feedback. After this, I went back and fixed any grammar or formatting issues I had, along with adding more to my final essay. This process was long and not at all easy, but I was able to get it done efficiently.…

I never get the same exact assignment and I will never have the same writing process for every essay. This process seems too effective enough to get the assignment dine but I know there is always room for…
Core value 1 says, “Writing is a multi-stage, recursive, and social process”. The first part “writing is a multi-stage process”, basically implies that there are a lot of steps in creating a well-written paper. There is a lot of pre-reading needed in order to gather information and better one’s understanding of the topic being discussed. For example, for essay one I had to read different articles before I began writing and then do a pre-writing in which I discussed my readings. I found myself effortlessly adding details from those articles into my paper. Another way writing is a multi-stage process is that you must write multiple drafts and get them revised until you create your final draft. This brings us to the “social process” aspect of core value one. Whenever a draft is finished, the writer must speak with different people in order to gather different opinions about their paper. The writer may also speak with people before writing the paper in order to gather different opinions on the topic being written about. One example of this is discussing our topics we wrote about in class. “Writing is a recursive process” implies that each time I write a paper I take the same steps. I do pre-reading, pre-writing, summarize my pre-readings, and eventually write the paper and get it revised until I complete a final draft. With every essay I wrote in comp 1 came pre-readings assigned by my professor. After I read those I eventually wrote a summary and incorporated those readings into my essay. After finishing the first draft, it was revised by peers and eventually by Mr. Han. I repeated this process for each essay I wrote.…
After taking several opportunities to study the different images provided in the assignment, I came to the realization that I didn’t fully understand what my writing process consisted of. When I look at the actual “writing” that I have done over the course of the last several years, it mainly contains Facebook status updates, letters to teachers, emails, blog posts, and product reviews for several online marketing companies. I haven’t written essays, journal entries or any kind of “story” in a very long time.…
