Throughout this semester I have changed my composing process, worked with multiple different writing prompts, and have completed various activities, such as working in groups and participating in discussions with my peers. This has helped me to understand and learn how to use my peers and other resources to aid me with our topics and improve our writings. I have also had to read from the book “Everyone’s an Author”, which was made by Andrea Lunsford, Michal Brody, Lisa Ede, Beverly J. Moss,…

I did not have a writing process; I just write what came to me. But when I was reading the text book I was starting to realize that my writing process was like a lot of peoples writing process. The writing process that the text book describes is easy to follow, it gives you 1,2,3 steps so you don’t get lost when you start to write. When it comes to comparing my writing process to my text books writing process we have a lot in common for example, if you have ideas it says to…

When hearing the words “writing workshop,” I immediately thought about higher-grade levels such as junior and senior high schools. I pictured teachers setting aside time in class, or even a separate class, for students to work on writing papers, mechanical skills, and the process of writing in general. Yet after reading chapter one in Teaching Writing: Balancing Process and Product, I began to get the sense that the simplicity of the writing process lends itself to be applied in a variety of…

The writing process has four steps: planning, prewriting, drafting, and revising. No matter how I break up my process of writing, these four steps are the backbone to my writing techniques. I have a different approach to the traditional way of following the steps of the writing process. I look for a set environment, I brainstorm, create a finished product, and I have friends revise work. Here I will thoroughly discuss my writing process. As soon as I receive a writing assignment, I read it…

My writing process usually involves me prewriting, planning, drafting and then editing. I often try to revise the paper while I’m writing it, which often seems to create more problems as I stop my thought process on what I was writing and focus on something else. While this has slowed me down, it has never stopped me from finishing something. I have always had an easy time writing in an environment where I don’t have any tight restrictions and can write freely about ideas for characters, stories…

My college essay writing process was fairly simple. I thought of possible topics over time, such as my experiences going to Colombia, baptism, my passions, etc. After reading an article on writing college essays, I began brainstorming ideas of what I could write, and it all seemed to simply flow. As I was brainstorming, I quickly wrote down all of my ideas. From this time I knew that I wanted to write about my experiences going to Colombia. After writing down my ideas and coming up with the…

I am focusing on different genres and improving sense of self for my client during shared writing. Since having a memory loss, he often has a negative view of self (i.e., he makes comments during therapy/group). He enjoys shared writing with the clinician my goal is to focus on this and varying the genre of writing (i.e., narrative or explanatory). Regarding writing,…

Thomas Osborne. Osborne has a very unique writing style and starts off his essay “Late Nights, Last Rites, and the Rain-Slick Road to Self-Destruction” talking about how he has been struggling to write this essay for four days and then states “I just erased several dozen hours of hard work from existence.” (Osborne 648). If you were to just stop reading here, given Sommers…

there is no "right way to write." However, the title probably caught your eye, so, I might get a view or two. I start my writing process with the pre-writing process, which is strictly done on pen and paper. My pre-writing process is very similar to "stream of consciousness writing," in which I just let my thoughts on the subject of the writing flow out. Then, as my pre-writing grows in size, I try to find a focus within the thoughts and give myself a direction to write in. I have found that…
