Revisiting My Writing Process

Dear Reader,

In this blog post I will be revisiting a few of my first blog posts (1.10 "My Writing Process" & 1.12 "Calendar Reflection") and reflecting on how I have and have not changed as a writer through my experience in the course.

After reflecting on these two blog posts on my writing process and time management, I had originally stated that I was not much of a planner, I was a bit of a procrastinator, and I was a heavy revisor. Throughout the course I have progressed a lot as a writer and my writing process has drastically changed. Because of the set-up of the course, I was incapable of procrastinating if I wanted to get all my work done by the deadline (and do it well!). Also, the blogs that eventually became the foundations of our various projects helped me become a heavy planner. Although I am still a heavy revisor, because my work was well-thought out and well-planned, my revising process was much lighter than usual. 

Moving forward, my new skills with time management and as a writer will help me, particularly within my major (journalism). In the next 2 or 3 years of college I hope that I will continue to do a good job with time management and planning in order to create better work. In the future, I hope to be writing articles on current on-goings and in order to do so, I will need to be able to manage my time well. In this course, I have learned to effectively manage time and work as well as create effective plans of my work.
