Weekly Writing #1

My Writing Process

If asked to describe my writing process, I would call it organized chaos. I am an intelligent person who is reasonably organized, has exciting ideas, and can typically articulate my point intelligently. However, when it comes to articulating other people’s points, I tend to fall short. During this class, I hope to gain the skills needed to better back up my claims and apply these skills towards research papers and argumentative essays. This being said I would like to keep my creative way of brainstorming using my theater orientated mind and my expansive knowledge of shows as a backdrop for my writing style, and my way of connecting and interpreting ideas. Finally I hope to build confidence in my writing and be able to discern what good writing is. I want to be able to help my friends when they ask me to read over a paper without feeling under qualified. I want to be able to build solid claims with strong evidence and a flow that makes the writing enjoyable to read while also being informative. With all this being said I can’t wait to see the writer I become!
