Writing Process Essay-Directions

Prepare a 700- to 1050-word essay in which you review and reflect upon your current writing process. Consider the questions below as you review your current writing process and reflect upon it. You do not need to answer each question, and you should not write directly in response to them in a question and answer format. Instead, use these questions to prompt your thinking about your writing process. Then shape your thoughts into a unified essay as described in your reading, with a distinct introduction, body paragraphs, and a clear conclusion. Give your essay a title, and revise it for clarity and cohesion. a. How do you get started on a writing project? b. What steps are involved, and in what order do you take them? c. Which stage or stages of the writing process (as described in your reading) are most challenging for you? Why? d. Which stage or stages of the writing process (as described in your reading) are easiest for you? Why? e. What areas of the writing process do you understand best? What areas do you understand least? How is your current level of understanding reflected in your writing? f. When and why do you involve others in your individual writing process, and with what results? g. How much time do you devote to each stage of the writing process, and why? h. How do you determine if a piece of writing is complete? i. Does your writing process differ according to the nature of the project? (For example, if you are writing a letter versus writing an essay?) If so, how, why, and in what ways? How might you adapt some of the methods used in your more successful writing to areas that challenge you more? j. What role does research play in your writing process? k. How can your existing process be improved, and what steps will you take to improve it? Be sure to use the Structure of an Essay to organize your essay. Submit your essay to WritePoint.
