My Writing Process

I enjoy writing my feelings a lot when I feel that no one can understand me. However, this kind of writing does not require a lot of thinking or steps. When I have a writing assignment that requires writing an essay or any kind of academic paper, it would take a lot of my time because I am a very slow writer and it takes a lot of my thinking and brain.

When I want to start to write a paper, I would first make a cup of coffee, so I would feel concentrated. I would stay away from my phone and take the entire day just for this writing assignment as I mentioned before, I am a very slow writer. Meanwhile, I would read what the assignment is asking me to write and what does or doesn’t want me to include in the paper. When I don’t understand some words, I would translate them into my own language. I would do some research if the topic is new to me to have a better idea about what to write. I will also try to connect what I have read from the research to some of my real-life examples. Then I will start to outline my ideas in a piece of paper and brainstorm them. Moreover, I would also try organizing my ideas to diminish some of them. Once I have organized my ideas, I would start to find a good hook that would gain the audience’s attention. Most of the time my hook would be something related to real life examples or some kind of a story.

Once I have the hook, I would follow it with a brief introduction that contains an idea about the content of the paper. I would then write the ideas in the body and finally write a meaningful conclusion. When I am done, I will start revising my paper, see if there is any grammar mistakes or fragments in my sentences and try to fix them. Finally, I will turn in the paper and hope that I did well. This process usually works with me and helps me to get a better grade specially when I outline my ideas and organize them.
