My Writing Process
Every person has their own unique writing process that they use when they write a paper. A person has access to a plethora of techniques to write in their own way within many different types of environments. Graphic organizers, outlines, and free writing are just a few of the resources that writers have to utilize in their own process. Although every person uses their own techniques in the writing process, I use a multitude of unique writing techniques throughout my writing process.
The process I use throughout my writing has developed during the course of many years. I have added several steps in order to produce an extraordinary and well-written product. I believe well-written papers take time and effort to get to a more perfect product. I get all of my books, research, and notebook paper together so that I will be organized before I proceed. The first step I take toward planning my paper is to think about my topic and establish my audience and purpose. Then, I research for more information on my topic before I write on a piece of paper or touch my laptop so that I have a clear understanding as I plan my essay. I keep my thoughts clear and try to be open-minded at all times so that my paper can be as well-thought-out as possible. The process of thinking about my prompt allows me to ensure that I am responding to the question or prompt and it helps me create a clear focus on my essay’s topic. I also decide if there is an argument and a counter argument. I then begin a jot list that helps me create a written plan using my thoughts and putting them into short phrases and words. Finally, I begin to create a basic thesis statement that applies to the type of paper I am writing and I check that my thesis sums up what the essay will be focusing on.
Planning is the next step where I begin to transition into more writing. This step allows me to create a more
