writing again at my own pace.
writing again at my own pace.
My process begins before I put pen to paper. I lock myself in a quiet room, shut off my phone, and turn on some eighties hair band music. One thing that helps me write is listening to music. It blocks out distractions and irritating background noises.…
The techniques I use are Brainstorming and Free-Writing. I brainstorm ideas then free write about each of them. In retrospect that is the main reason my first essay had so many Main topics. For future I will be brainstorming ideas, running them through AWC thesis generator, and then using free-writing to further develop the essay.…
Brainstorming or Free writing is a helpful component of prewriting; It involves writing down every idea and thought that comes to mind, when determining what topic you would like to write about and how you will go about it. Free writing is like an unstructured outline, and once you determine the specific ideas you’d like to pursue, you can dispose of all other irrelevant information.…
After my prewriting, I started to develop the paper. I printed my prewriting and highlighted what I thought was important to keep. I also started planning how I should organize my work, as well as see what information I can add to help the reader understand the piece more. Then when I figured out how I wanted to organize the paper and what I wanted to add in it, I went in search of a place to write; I can’t focus around…
The writing tasks you will complete in this assignment are based on real-world scenarios that describe a variety of situations.…
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…
There are many different methods you can use when planning your writing. One tool you use all the time when planning is your head! For example, when sending a text message you would first think it through in your head.…
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…
During my writing process, I came across a tolerable amount of obstacles. I felt the tendency to occupy a higher quality word choice, as well as better sentence structure. Sentence structure was especially arduous, for I found a great deal of simple sentences in my narrative introduction. However, I did overcome these obstacles with the help of my peer-checking partner, my classmates around me, and my background knowledge in regards to applying what I already know into my assignments. On the contrary, there were a few things I could facilitate. As I write down or think of proposals to apply to my assignments, it is almost as if the suggestions are pouring from out of my head, onto the paper. I write down what I feel sounds right, and if ultimately…
When I started this class, I believe I had strong writing skills, and now I believe these skills have strengthened, making me a more conscious writer. Before this class, I have not focused on aspects such as sentence length and specific words that I am using. Instead, I simply wrote and worked on proper grammar. My essay writing skills have definitely improved throughout this class simply due to the fact that I spend more time writing my essays. Now that I have mastered more skills, I can utilize them in every essay from here on out. While I know that I still have room to improve, I am pleased by my progress and I feel more confident about my writing. I have always enjoyed writing essays, but this class has helped me more fully understand the complexities of writing an essay. Previously, most essays I have written have been standard for English classes, and…
Writing is a very important skill for people to possess. People will need this skill throughout their entire life. They will need it for school and even their careers. Even though I am only seventeen years old, I have been writing my entire life and I will continue to write for the rest of my life. Throughout the years, I realized that writing is not an easy task and requires special skills to have the ability to create detailed and interesting stories. Not only will I write for school, but I will need to write when I am pursuing my career, and I will also write for my own personal enjoyment.…
I am very structured and organized when writing my essays. Instead of starting with a thesis, I write from the very beginning to the end. This writing process only causes issues when I am writing a paragraph and I start thinking and having ideas for another different paragraph. To fix this issue, when I start drifting off topic I plot down as much of the ideas I can in a separate paragraph and come back to it later. I generally do not write outlines, but write a complete rough draft first. Because of this, I usually write more than I need to, and must then cut out unnecessary sentences from my papers. After writing many papers this semester, I learned the best approach for me to tackle any…
Throughout my writing career, I have observed several aspects with the potential to shape any writer’s success. Among the elements, the most influential of them is the English course in which the student enrolls. Moreover, English courses hold influence over a student’s life in that they have a responsibility to either advance or reduce the writer’s skills. The progress in my writing development began when English II guided me through noticing worth in my writing, finding pride in a strength, and appreciating positive aspects of the course.…
Writing a paper can appear as a challenge to many people, but it’s about finding the right strategies to help you overcome those bumps in the road. One of the challenges that I face is picking my own topic to write about. In order to overcome this challenge, I try to focus on a topic that interests me or one that I can personally relate to. I have found that prewriting techniques such as brainstorming and free-writing have proved to be effective when facing this challenge. Free writing is something I was always encouraged to do in high school in order to let your thoughts flow down on a piece of paper, these thoughts and ideas could later be…
November 2009, a moment in my life will never be forgotten. My day started off as it usually would. Started my morning off with a nice warm shower, brushed my teeth and picked out my outfit for the day. That weekend I was so excited to travel to the Bronx New York to spend time with family and friends. My best friend picked me up from my mom’s house and then down to the gas station as I’m pumping the gas I see my best friend walking towards the car with serious face. As he approached the car while I’m pumping the gas he told me that my mom was trying to call my cell phone. I called my mom and I say “hello”. I was so confused to why she answered the phone with a sad voice. She replies “Jon I’m sorry? Your great grandmother passed away?” I said “NO SHE DIDN’T SHE KNOWS IM GOING TO SEE HER THIS WEEKEND! NO MOM NO that’s not true”. I quickly hung up and called my grandmother Amy phone but, there was no answer. Then I get a call back from my grandmother. She answers “I’m sorry son.” Me scared and confused “Grandma! Grandma it’s me Jon Where’s abuela? Put Abuela on the phone.” she takes a deep breath and I hear her crying “I’m sorry Jon I’m so sorry for your lost.” I start to cry, feel sick and my heart feels heavy, “What no this is not abuela we are talking about! This not funny put her on the phone grandma.” she replies “Jon like I said I’m sorry. The family is meeting up at the hospital to talk.” She hung up. I looked at my best friend and he seen my face as I began to breath heavy even harder and cry more and more he grabbed me and rubbed my back and told me “I’m sorry everything will be ok”. We begin the drive back to my mom house. The drive back to my mom house I told my best friend to pull over and let me catch my breath. My heart felt so heavy. I got back into the car and called my mom and told her that I was on the way home and I cried all the way home.…
