Describe The Writing Process

When one is writing, they use a method called the Writing process. Every individual has their own way of going about this process. The four distinct steps that are involved in this is prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing. Any good writer will follow these steps to make a successful paper. I was asked to pick a metaphor that would describe my type of writing. Through countless minutes of thought I saw one that I think fit perfectly. I chose “ Writing is like trying to smooth ripples from water with one's hand--the more I try, the more disturbed things get. “(Kij Johnson, The Fox Woman, 2000). Personally, it means that when I write, I create a plan and take in my grasp. Then, when I try adding new ideas and details it gets “rippled” or reciprocated. Even when you try to smooth your writing out there is always going to be something that is getting changed. I think that is what makes writing interesting.
I immediately start to think of plans that I have to cancel to accomplish this homework and of course jot down some various notes on the subject. For example, how she would like it written, the format, and just small details that I can go back to when I begin my writing. All writers in my opinion have a certain environment they like to write in. It could be any type of environment depending on whether you like to be alone or out in public. I preferably love to go to my favorite coffee shop, Starbucks. Honestly, they know my name and order when I walk up. I like to take it as a compliment for being such a valued and appreciated
