Reflective Essay About My Writing Process

During this school year I have learned a lot. My writing has evolved in the following ways. It was changed in the way that I don’t write as scatterbrained as I use to. My process as changed in the way that I think gives a better final project. And I found something that I think is interesting about my writing. So without further delay let's take a look.

My writing is different because I don't just write whatever comes to my mind and try to mash it together and try to pass it off as a paper.I had a problem with that even when all I had to do was answer Questions to Make You Think. But as the year went on I started using less words and started using more meaningful or to the point. As a result my writing has become more high quality even if the amount I have written has been less full than it usually is.

A writer's process is something special and unique only to them.

Some have a simple processes like just saying random ideas till they find something that they want to write and other processes are more advanced like pulling scraps of paper with ideas or throwing a dart at the a board filled with ideas. My process was easy. I would just spitball random ideas till I found something that worked. And it could be told by looking at my earlier work as in the first Writing Without a Cliche. But as I progressed through the year I realized that wasn't the best way or process either. So I changed it up. I started looking at the questions that needed to be answered and then building a story around that. In Reader Response 2 I looked at the questions that needed to be answered. Then I answered the question. Then to fill the paper I added quotes, examples, and personal experiences. This is how my writing process has changed and

evolved.
Something unique in my writing and something that is somewhat special is how I can portray emotion and experiences through my writing. In my paper Reader’s Response 1 I talked about my experience with my girlfriend and my puppy when they were involved in an accident. I felt as though I was able to show my experience and what I was feelings that day to keep everyone’s attention and also was able to get to the point of the essay.
All in all I feel that my writing has became more solid thanks to this class. I feel like this class has helped make my writing stronger by keeping the the unneeded information out of the essay, by changing my writing process in such a way that I can get a nicer cleaner essay, and it has also helped me realize my strongest writing ability is to portray my emotions and essays.
