There are many different parts of writing. The one I will talk about this week will be about my physical part of the writing process. Typically in the past I would stay up to late hours of the morning and trying to get things done last minute. That is when I thought that my best ideas came out. I was completely wrong with that statement. Last semester I did my first couple of papers last minute and they turned out all right. But, if you look at my grades on my papers towards the end of the semester they were a lot better. This is because these papers were done before midnight and I was able to focus a lot better instead of focusing on when I was going to be able to go to sleep. Also, I was totally against having music on while I type before. Now, I have found that if I listen to some calm country music it helps me get through the paper as well as not make the whole typing process boring. Next, I have been able to type wherever now people don’t bother me as much as they used too. Sometimes I even may ask someone for ideas or how to word something so that has really help too. I like to type everything I never really hand write anything anymore it just takes to much time, hurts my hand, you can’t back space and lastly you don’t have what we call “SPELL CHECK”. So with that all said the whole physical part of writing for me has basically changed from the beginning of the semester in the fall till now. As well as help me become a better writer.

The only problem I have with this is that you're listening to country music. ;)
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your honesty here. Of course you could write an OK paper last minute. I mean, it's not rocket science. Yet, that paper is just OK. Who wants to settle for that?
Lengthening your writing process is a skill that will help you in all of your classes, Kyle. (It's been really fun working with you and watching you grow, btw.)
