Writing Process
When it comes to writing college papers or any papers if that matter. I usually only do a 2 part writing process, drafting and revising. When an essay is assigned, I often spend close to 2 hours writing the information that related to the topics, often called brainstorm. This process it's almost like a free write. By the end of my drafting process, more frequently than not I would have enough materiel to cut and eliminate run on sentences and others error sentences and still have a lengthy an essay. After this process, I would not touch the essay for a day or two before coming back and revise it. This helps me to be more relieve and free of stress, when I come back I would be ready to work again. This method had got me through high school with A's and B's. Though It's much different now, I must work much harder in order to receive a good grade. I now must follow the 6 steps process in order to improve my essay. These process will help me to become a better writer.

Hi Chance,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've got a pretty good writing process. In this class, try to focus on revising ideas too, not just fixing errors. It should be a good challenge.
When you come back to your essay after a few days, do you really "revise" - add, subtract, change, and re-order words, phrases, sentences, and ideas? Or are you just correcting errors (editing)?
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you focus a lot on English (which makes sense as a second language learner), so I'm going to challenge you to focus more on revising ideas in this class.
