Stacey S Blog Prompt

     The author of our textbook presents some very interesting practice sections.  I read most of them and tried to at least attempt some of them.  I did not put all of my responses on paper but I did a least think about them.  I have read and reread most of the chapters that have been assigned.   

     I am not shy about my fears of writing essays especially sufficient essays.  I have try to incorporate a lot of different techniques.  I read the chapters, study the essay assignment sheet.  I spend a lot of time in the prewriting process.  I work 3rd shift so when my children are  at school and my husband is at work, I am usally sleeping.  I have found that I will wake up because I had a thought. So I keep a notebook with me so I can write down my thoughts.  I am constantly asking questions, for example, what is the audience that I want to appeal to, what is the topic, what kind of essay am I writing.  I have a tendency to get stressed out and over analyze things.  I try to make things harder than they really are.  I reference the book because I am not to familiar with proper academic writing.  I also refer to the Wiki, instructors examples and comments and Lectures.
