My Writing Process Analysis

I came into college knowing the fundamentals of how to write an essay, yet I never knew what writing processes would work best for me. A writing process is a routine that helps writers become more effective and has procedures that vary amongst each individual. To incorporate a process to develop essays was my goal, so that is why I researched different procedures that would work best for me. Although many people struggle in developing an essay, writing an essay is simple when applying the correct methods. I found that prewriting, drafting, editing, and submitting helped me approach my essays better. Prewriting is a method that allows me to generate and clarify ideas before approaching the composition. Before starting my paper, I like to brainstorm
Once I complete the rough draft, I prepare to print, check, and edit the entire paper for any mistakes. I believe that editing a paper gives me more benefits than drawbacks. Rather than just thinking of editing the essay as a negative process, it allows me to be reminded that this time is for working on creating a polished and refined piece of writing that would make me proud of myself. The typical errors that I check for are spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and formatting. To help me find the mistakes more easily, I like to read the paper aloud to myself. Reading it aloud and listening to my voice allows me to catch the mistakes; rather than just reading it off the computer screen and not noticing the mistakes. After I finish editing, I save the document and ask my peer, teacher, or submit it to Smart-Thinking for additional editing. This allows me to grab other people’s perspectives on my writing, and show me what I need to work on before submitting. I recommend editing an essay at least three times, so you will be able to enhance it after every revision. When I finish all three revisions, I would do a final edit and read through my paper once more before
When I complete all of my requirements, I am ready for the final method of submitting. I like to check the requirements for the essay before submitting to make sure I followed all the guidelines and necessities. For example, the standard essay needs MLA formatting such as having a font size of 12, Times New Roman as the font, double spacing in between each line, and the correct indentions for paragraphs. Not following the requirements may cause a deduction of points for each mistake. Furthermore, I like to look at a grading rubric that my professor provides me. Having the rubric ensures that I have all the essential components of what my professor is looking for in an essay. Missing tasks from each section will also result in a deduction of points for each category. Once I finish checking all the necessities in my paper, I submit my essay to the required location. Failure to submit the essay grants me a zero for that assignment and a downhill trip to my overall
