My writing process

When I write I usually write at my desk or on the floor with my materials spread around me, and I always type because my handwriting is atrocious (I mean really bad!) Depending on how serious the paper or assignment is depends on the conditions I write in. If it is a very serious important personal essay, I will write alone with my music going rather loud (classical usually when I’m writing, Metallica doesn’t quite get those gears moving as well.) And a must for any important paper is for me to write it in the daytime with natural light coming from the windows. I usually spend a lot of time writing because my strategies will probably cause a few to frown, I just put my subject at the top of the paper and start writing. If I can’t finish a paragraph I’ve stared I just jump to a new one with a different point or focus, when I’m done with this phase I pick and choose the best of my paragraphs, mesh them together and then connect them making the transitions smooth. After that I edit it and then send the paper to my English major girlfriend. Needless to say revision plays a huge role because of the amount of mistakes I make when I write. So help from others plays a huge role in my writing. As to peer workshopping, I’ve had little to no experience with anything other than the above.
Because my writing process is so chaotic I would defiantly want to try webbing again, I know it seem overly simplified for most essays/papers but I think it would definitely help me out in the long run if I got into the habit of doing that again. Probably the most unhelpful part of my process is the fact that I jump right into the writing, occasionally I end up not reading or understanding the prompt completely and have a lot of high quality ideas that don’t help me at all.

WorkShopping as a Genre

A workshop draft, as a genre, should be the first thoughts and outline of a finished piece; it should have developed ideas and the groundwork for a good paper inside of it. If it doesn’t have correct grammar and syntax that’s ok. But it should have its main points laid out. Its purpose is to feel out a particular audience and to figure out exactly the best way to speak to that audience, whether it is to be a science paper or a comic sketch. Most of the time it is written to the other workshoppers, as to get the best feel for the paper itself. Its purpose is there for not to the intended final audience but to the other troubleshooters.

Well first of all I would advise the use of another source altogether or to add another one that would make the paper work better. Also I would heavily advise him/her to write another draft that has a lot more information on the eighties interposed. The deviation from the intended subject hurt the writer very much in the workshop. Lastly I would just tell him or her to just slow down and look over there paper carefully. The many simple mistakes lead the reader to not liking the paper, not because of the subject, but because of the language. As we said in class his logos is severely damaged by the mistakes

ESSAYR

I would Give this guy a C. His writing is well developed and some of the simple mistakes are just infuriating, from the little things like mixing up his , theirs and there, to messing up his indentations. His writing was supposed to have smooth transitions from a source material. He only used his one source in the writing 3 times! And then it was cited very well. The rest was from his knowledge ! I almost want to give him(or her) worse than a C but i cant find any other more serious grounds. So C- is the final grade, harsh as it may be
