The Writing Process by Sharon Cronk-Raby

Question Who is your favorite author?

Quote “We have discovered that writing allows even a stupid person to seem halfway intelligent, if only that person will write the same thought over and over again, improving it just a little bit each time. It is a lot like inflating a blimp with a bicycle pump. Anyone can do it. All it takes is time.” ~Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. http://www.vonnegut.com/

A Process Remember, whatever you call the steps, writing does happen in steps. Writing is a process.

Why is writing done in steps? We are not perfect, so we get many chances to make the work our best. It helps keep writer’s block away!

Overview Pre-Writing Drafting Revising Proofreading Publishing Reflecting

Pre-Writing Pre = before Pre-writing is what you do before you write. can be done in your head, or it can be written down (or both!) Step 1

Pre-Writing Consider: Assignment Guidelines Topic What do you know? What do you need to know? Audience Purpose Step 1

Pre-Writing Brainstorming (alone or with others) Questioning Throughout the semester, we will practice many pre-writing strategies, including (but not limited to): Brainstorming (alone or with others) Questioning Freewriting Focused Freewriting Listing Mapping Outlining Step 1

Pre-Writing Now, fit the pieces together. Find commonalities of ideas. How will you organize your information? Step 1

Drafting Also called the Rough Draft stage Put your ideas on paper in sentences and paragraphs. If writing long-hand, skip lines. If typing, double space. Do not worry about the mechanics… yet! Step 2

Revising Look over ideas: Does each paragraph focus on a main idea? Does each paragraph have a topic sentence? Are ideas supported with specific details and examples? This is the step to change, add, or remove ideas. Are ideas organized clearly? Are you saying what you mean to be saying? Double check your word choice. This will require multiple read-throughs! Can you have someone read your draft? Step 3

Proofreading Now is the time to check the mechanics & conventions: Spelling Grammar Punctuation Capitalization Sentence structure and variety Any specifics to the guidelines of the writing (MLA) (APA) This will require multiple read-throughs! Can you have someone read your draft? Step 4

Publishing Type your final copy with corrections made. Follow the proper (MLA) (APA) guidelines: Heading Title Margins Font Formatting Works Cited / Reference Page This is your chance to present your work! Step 5

Reflecting Ask yourself, “How did I do?” Take time to consider what went well (or not), and make adjustments for the next piece of writing you do. When your paper is graded and returned: Review all comments Ask questions as needed Make modifications so that mistakes are not repeated but the strong elements are! Step 6

Quote “All of us who write, work out of a conviction that we are participating in some sort of communal activity. Whether my role is writing, or reading and responding, might not be very important. . . . By honoring one another’s creation we honor something that deeply connects us all, and goes beyond us.” ~Joyce Carol Oates http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/oat0bio-1 Phillips, Robert. “The Art of Fiction No. 72.” The Paris Review 74 (1978). 3 Mar. 2009 <http://www.theparisreview.org/media/ 3441_OATES.pdf>.
