What is the Writing process?The writing process is what you will need to go by when writing for essays and future classes.I have included a few tips throughout this template to help you get started. • You will need to identify the components of a basic sentence.• You will need to be able to identify the four most serious writing errors.• Define subject-verb agreement.• Identify common errors in subject-verb agreement.• Recognize regular and irregular verbs• Use regular and irregular verbs correctly in basic sentences.

What’s the first thing you do before getting started on writing a text? Is it turn on music, get yourself alone in a room, turn on the TV? Whatever it is, everyone has their own writing process. Elizabeth Wardle and Doug Downs state, “…it would seem that if you want to become a more versatile, capable, powerful writer, you need to be pretty aware of which activities, behaviors, habits, and approaches lead to your strongest writing-and which don’t”(170). The writing process has a major effect on the effectiveness of the paper it’s got to do with what it takes you to get the best on paper. My writing process consists of all paperwork, which is related to the writing and music that’ll help me focus.

My writing strategies will begin with an outline. I will take my time with words and phrases that I can easily put together. When I am finished, I will proofread my work. Checking for grammar and punctuation mistakes, my paper will be ready to

Writing process like process practicing tennis. For me, when I began to study English, Writing is too difficult, and I don 't know how to write the essay on strong ideas, and well organize. It looks like I play tennis. When I wrote the essays or played tennis, I usually did what I want and what I think that I didn 't think about how to write a good essay or do to become a better good player. To become a good writer, I have to practice, learn others, and research important information to support writing. A good essay must have good organize, strong ideas, and the ideas have to support the main ideas. Playing tennis too, good players need to go through practicing process, it has basic techniques that every player have to complete to become a good player. Writing process has been as similar as the process of practicing tennis, they need practice, learn from others, and look for new things to improve all writing and tennis.

When i know my topic, i just start on my paper. I feel that it takes less time and it's a lot easier for me that way. Since i don't do a lot of pre-writing, when i am writing my first draft, i am constantly changing things as i go, like spelling and word choice. If i misspell a word as i'm writing, i don't wait to change it later, instead i have to go back and correct it as soon as i notice the mistake or error. Once i think i'm finished, i usually do one last check of my

If I had to narrow my composing process down it would be between two processes, the Think-Aloud Protocol & Process Log. A think-aloud protocol is the process of verbally speaking the words as you write them as well as saying aloud what you are thinking. “A process log is a journal in which you discuss what you are writing, what you are reading in relation to your written work, and how writing for class relates to other writing you are doing or have done.”

My writing process has changed by working in different environments, rather than in the same room or area. I think this has helped with helping me focus in some environments that are louder or quieter than others. Also, I started my writing process with a clear outline of my ideas. This has helped strengthen my paper, as well as lay out every idea without missing any points. For the assignments that required additional research,

Get a scratch piece of paper and start jotting down ideas or write an outline what you want to talk about the story. Create an outline helps you stay focused, organized and have a good flow of writing. To generate

1. The stages of writing include brainstorming, an outline, writing a rough draft, and making revisions to your paper.

Previous to my changes I had always picked a day about three to four days before the due date on my final draft of an assignment to write my rough draft in one sitting. This affected my papers as the first half of my papers would be much stronger than my second half due to my brain getting tired as I sat and wrote. I decided that I needed to write papers in hour sessions where I write for an hour then take at least a thirty minute break where I step away from my computer and give my brain and eyes a chance to relax. This change is seen between my first analysis on C.T.E. and its connection to the N.F.L. and my multimodal analysis on The Sunshine Hotel as my paragraphs in my first analysis decrease in quality as the paper progresses, while in my multimodal analysis I feel some of my stronger paragraphs are towards the end due to the fact that I allowed myself more time to gather my thoughts and clearly support the main ideas of my

There is yet another issue that arises. Because I never learned a writing process, how would I start forming my own? I figured the best way to start is to learn from others. In order to become a good writer I would have to learn the jargon that is literature. For example after reading Orlean Anderson’s journal I chose Bob Ingalls to be sort of my mentor in my middle draft. Like Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars, he would mentor this Luke Skywalker in the ways of proper writing. He brought up many points that really interested me. With his advice I will form my own writing process by imitating style, reading and building upon an author’s ideas. I should be getting my ideas from authors and writers who know what they’re doing. With this in mind, I can shed the High School English approach of “write down what we want you to write down, not write down what is on your mind”. They could’ve at least taught us as students how to come up with ideas and focus on quality, rather than focusing on volume and tell us to write more to fix our writing which is redundant. They focused on interpreting authors and not emulating them.

Writing a paper on the writing process is pretty hard. The writing process is different from one person to another. You come across questions like, 'What exactly is the writing process?'; and 'Must you follow one persons writing process if yours is different?'; This is where I came across the answer to my questions, write however you wish to write. If one person likes free write first and another person likes to write a draft first, let them do how they please.

My writing process has many steps such as motivation, incubation, planning, mind blocks, and ways to improving. My first motivation starts the whole process in knowing that I can get something out of the assignment. Next taking that motivation to actually sit down and take time on the paper I go into incubation. Having the same process of incubation as Donald Murray in “Decisions and Revisions: The Planning Strategies of a Publishing Writer, and Response of a Laboratory Rat: Or, Being Protocoled” gives me a better insight on how I actually come up with ideas out of doing activities not related to the topic. In incubation my planning unfolds and this is where I get the structure of my paper. Thinking too much into the format of the paper gets me into two main mental blocks, structure and editing. Overall using the different studies in chapter five of “Writing About Writing” by Elizabeth Wardle and Doug downs, I am able to fix the mental blocks and find new ways in improving my writing process.

My writing process starts with me walking to the library after lunch. I tend to look for the biggest tables because I like to have a big space to have my papers and books. Also usually one of my friends joins me midway. After I am seated I take out my Hp with a ñ and turn it on. While it is turning on I usually get on my phone and look at my social media feed. Normally around me there are other students working in groups and having conversations.

When it comes to writing processes, I used to never use them. Before attending this class, I normally would put together my papers last minute and pray for a good grade. Hold on… Did you see what I did there? I used the previous sentence as a leading sentence into my next point. Organization taught me that as well. After taking this class, I learned that effective papers are produced from careful planning. The ideas and evidence are just as important as the structure. I learned that prewriting helps develop ideas, drafting helps you form the appropriate structure of those
