Today was my first day in CIS English! Our first assignment was to write about our writing process. I am not entirely sure what mine is like. However, I do know that I generally follow a three or more step process. First, I write words straight from my mind, thinking about them, but not looking at them critically. Then, when that first draft is done, I reread what I have written. As I do so, I make changes that I see are necessary, including grammar and adding more where is needed. After I have finished, I reread my work again. This time, I am looking to make sure it flows. I also look to see that I have added just the right amount of description. Not enough descriptive words can make writing boring and bland. On the other hand, too much description can make writing hard to understand. When I have finished my third editing, I am done. However, I sometimes may look over and change my work more than three times, depending on how important, how long, and how difficult the paper is.
