Pre-writting


Throughout my education I have had a love hate relationship with the English components; reading and writing. Towards the end of last year it became harder for me to focus on comprehending reading pages and assignments, whenever I read I would become fatigued and get a headache. So finally it occurred to be that I should get my eyes checked, yes indeed I did need glasses; so that solved that problem.

Now my relationship with writing tends to vary. I have produced some amazing pieces of art, but I’ve also produced essays I’m embarrassed to call my own.

The foundation of starts with the topic and from there some organization is needed. I like to have everything planed out and committed before I start writing. If I don’t have an outline I get new ideas for a topic or layout half way through the essay and end up restarting it four times and that certainly isn’t a time saver. I don’t necessarily think there is a particular name for the format I use because it’s mostly lists with lines and mini categories with connecting and supporting ideas or evidence. I used to use a “web” or mainstream pre-writing skills but I ended up using twice the amount of time just trying to keep my ideas in format. I’m weird with stuff like that but it’s what works for me.
