Writing process is learning and understanding how to go beyond your comfort zone of writing.


Writing process is like being talented in a sport, yet there are still some things you can improve on. Writing process is unlike riding a bike. The day your set foot on a petal, you will always ride a bike the same. There is no improving in bike riding.


The cause of my writing is when I’m only assigned to write. Even though I only write when I have too I still enjoy it because after all the hard work and revising it, the feeling of having it done and knowing it’s a good paper is a great feeling.


The one scholar that supports my view of writing is professor Jeff Howard. He has graded a couple papers of mine and so far I like how he tells me what I can use some work on in a polite manner, on the other hand I also like his feedback on the good things I have done in my writing.

Writing process is described as taking steps and becoming organized in writing a paper.


My writing process is compared to life in general. When I write I just go for it, there is no making of an outline. In life, I wake up every day not knowing what’s going to happen. I ask myself “will I meet new people today?” “Will something happen to change my mood drastically?” In writing I just write, I don’t now if I will come up with something or not to change my opinion in the essay. It’s more of surprising myself.


My writing process is associated with organizing and knowing what I’m going to do next. Having goals helps me get the paper done.

The parts of my writing process and how they relate to each other are just to start writing, there usually is no outlining and writing down what each paragraph will contain and in what order. I simply grab some paper and go for it.
