Writing Process
- Question: Can you describe the scene(s) where you wrote the This I Believe (TIB) essay. Be descriptive. Is this sustainable?
Answer:
When I was writing my TIB essay I was in my bedroom. It was about 7 in the evening. I had soft music playing low and I was alone.
- Question: You wrote a blog post about six strategies to become a better writer. Have you used those strategies when blogging and writing the TIB essay? Please discuss which of these strategies helped you the most when you wrote your TIB essay?
Answer:
Yes I do use the strategies every time I write.
I made sure I was in a quiet place where I could concentrate, I was patient and open minded. I began by writing down ideas about some things I would mention in my essay. When I was done writing it completely I felt pretty confident.
- Question: Describe your process for writing and revising the TIB essay (freewrite, list, found poem, etc.). What helped you the most?
Answer: The found poem helped me the most. I was able to put everything in order and just by reading my poem I understand what my entire essay is about.
