Writing Process

 

Today in class we had to write our writing process for our first paper which I think is kind of stupid but any who, here is my writing process memo.

The process that I used to write my first paper was a little rough and last minute. I waited till the day that our rough drafts were due to write my paper. At first it was very scattered and crazy. I was just throwing in my ideas as I thought about them so it was very out of order. After the first peer review I got some good ideas and I had time to redo and make my paper more how I wanted it. When I was re-doing it I made a flow chart for my paper so I knew where I wanted the details to go in my paper. I also had time to look up details and quotes for my paper, which was just a ton of fun. So next time I will start my paper earlier and be more prepared for the paper. I will also make a flow chart to begin with so that I can visualize where I want the details to go. The brainstorming that we did in class really helped me because it gave me some good ideas for where to start with my paper. I am nervous for the next paper because it sounds more complicated and specific and because we have to read that long complicated story. I am not looking forward to writing any more papers because writing is not my strongest subject.
