How I Write
In the beginning of this class I thought I was a good writer. Well as we went on learning how to prefect our writing I quickly figured out that I was not as good of writer as I thought I was.
I always was good at brainstorming. I found out early on that was the best way for me to get out what I want to put on the paper. I use what I call a web when I pre-write. This is a series of bubbles that link together to form my idea that I want to use in the paper I am writing. I learned to use more of a verity with my writing process during this semester. I learned that it is ok to be kind of all over the place and not quite organized. My writing has greatly improved over this semester. I always have liked writing and really expressing myself through my words and this semester has just helped my polish my style of writing. Know my writing makes sense and it is not all over the place. My pre-writing is kind of all over the place and not organized but by doing that it has some how made it easer to make my paper more organized and put together. Some things that I would like to continue to work on in the future is not repeating myself so much and also sentence combining.
With my writing process I like to break down my paper into little bubbles. I call them my thought bubbles. For example for my Prison Break paper I put Prison Break in the middle of a blank piece of paper and then branching off of it I put scenes, and other things like actors, seasons, events in the series that I like. I do it this way because it makes it easer to go back and feed off of what I was thinking and then it all comes together when I want to write my paper. Some ways I have improved my writing process is I now know it is ok to be messy in my pre-writing. I use to try to make everything nice and organized but that had never really worked. So know I have excepted the fact that I am unorganized and ever since then I have become a better writer.
Over all I really liked this class and I think it really has helped my prefect my writing. With out this class I think I would still think I am the best writer and I really would not be that good at all. Now I am a lot more confident with my writing and I know when I hand something in that it is my best work and it is something I can be proud of.
