Stacey S Blog Prompt

I usually begin with the question; Where should I begin?  This is the first thought that I have when I begin my writing process.  Next, I spend  two solid days just worring and panicking about the assignment.  Hey, you wanted to know my writing process.  Then I think about a topic or about the topic that has been presented for the assignment.  Eventually, I will start to gather researched information about the topic and try to find the most logical sources which will strengthen my argument.  I will start to think about a possible thesis statement.  I will change the construction of my thesis statement several times, but I finally get the one I want to use in my essay.  I try to pick the best possible audience.  The audience that I choose has to be influenced by my topic.  I spend a good majority of time on researching and reading and reading my sources.  I like to read my sources and write paragraphs that I think would work for my essay which comes in handy when constructing my synthesis.  The paragraphs that I create are helpful when I begin to construct my essay.

The text book was very helpful in my writing process.  I would constantly refer back to many of the chapters.  I would refer back to constructing a thesis because I have had trouble with this part.  I would reread this chapter and it would help me.  This was not the only section that I would refer back to when I got stuck.  I found the book very informative.  I like the fact that it would present examples because that would help me see what them meant. 

I guess that the metaphor that would explain my writing process is kind of cheesy.  I would have to say that my writing process is like a roller coaster ride it has it ups and downs and it certainly has its twists and turns, sometimes for the good and sometimes of the bad.
