Drafting

I started a new format when writing papers; I realized I tend to be un-organized with my thoughts when presented with a new assignment. In order to combat this problem I found the most helpful thing for me to do is to create an outline. Brainstorming or outlining ensures that I will not leave out important details out of my papers. I also started to write multiple drafts, prior to my sophomore year I never drafted when I wrote a paper. Drafting allows me to edit and revise my papers. In the article “Shitty First Drafts” by Anne Lamott, she discusses the nature of drafting and writing and the importance of the two. I was able to relate to this article, often I write horrible first drafts, and often I ramble on with needless information. The second draft allows me to pinpoint my thoughts and ideas and allows me to describe things in more detail, it also allows me to eliminate some of the trivial information that I don’t have to include in my papers. The third and final draft allows me to finalize my paper and tidy things up. When composing a paper I prefer to take my time editing it, otherwise errors might get overlooked (Lamott 3). Allowing myself to do all these multiple steps has improved my writing skills, however I believe there is always…

process. Fortunately, I have learnt some new strategies throughout my Writing 39B class. “The only writer to whom you should compare yourself is the writer you were yesterday,” said David Schlosser. After being in this class for almost 10 weeks, I have also learnt that in contemplation of becoming a better writer, we need to compare ourselves via revising drafts, glancing though feedbacks, and collating styles. On the other hand, we should learn by our mistakes, and know our…

Then I go to the writing center which is on the fourth floor of the library and ask a member of the writing group to look over the draft for any mistakes that I made. After editing, I realize that where I have left out the details. My second draft is always better than my first. When I am finished, I check to make sure my commas are in the right place and my grammar is okay. Then I am ready to turn it in. I will never get bored If I do it again and again as Wayne C. Booth acknowledge that in the…

current state of drafting. He appeals to all his readers questions and concerns. By conveying well thought out statics and thoughtful persona he assures you that we have space for all the teenages.

Not just answering the do we have space question he also elaborates on one of the most important factors, money. Previously said, he tells you that we will be saving billions and not in just money but in lives too.…

Instead of rushing headlong into a paper and writing it all in one sitting, working through the writing process actually forced me to stop and thoroughly read every source to find what information I agreed/disagreed with. Pre-writing helped to pinpoint what my beliefs/ideas were in both the personal culture paper as well as the quote-directed paper. Peer review and tutoring really helped to improve the conciseness of my papers, drawing all my thoughts and ideas into clear, cohesive paragraphs…

American has been coined the land of the free for most of its history, this included during World War II. The main idea of freedom that pushed America to fight in World War II was the Atlantic Charter. Both Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) and Winston Churchill, British prime minister, drafted the Atlantic Charter to reinforce being allies, insuring they both had the same idea of freedom they wanted to come from the end of World War I. Foner writes that the Atlantic Charter promised “final…

“Revising” In Joseph Harris’s article, “Revising”, Harris emphasizes the differences between drafting, revising, and editing, and the impact that each of these elements has on drafting a well-written paper. Harris dubbs the first step “drafting”, or formulating the content of the paper. Drafting involves the development of ideas into a larger body of text that can be easily followed. The next step in this process is “revising”, or further developing and adjusting the current body of text.…

specific types of legal obligations. To understand and determine the special provisions that may apply to a given area of law, refer to texts and treatises on the particular subject. Furthermore, paralegals always should be sure to ask the attorney and the client whether they have existing contracts they want to be used as the basis for the one that is going to be drafted. The following checklist provides a sampling of clauses that typically appear, and should therefore be considered, when…

painting and drafting. The first, scenic painting is the one I had the most experience with coming into. To find employment opportunities dealing with scenic painting I went to google and typed in “jobs that require scenic painting.” Surprisingly, I found more than I would have thought. On indeed.com I found positions for an on-call scenic technician, technical assistant/stage manager, and even an art director at universal studios. All of these jobs required more than just scene painting, but…

There are four processes of writing ; planning, drafting, revising and editing (Reep : 9). Each writing process will have different strategy. Moreover, the strategy in each will have a link to other process. For instance, planning will link to drafting, then drafting will link to revising, and revising will link to…
