Process
In the beginning of the semester I thought that my first draft is my main draft because it contains the central idea and content of writing and that the other drafts after are just to fix some grammatical and spelling errors. However, this indication have changed when I read an essay called “shitty first draft” and after that I had to do my own shitty first draft for the literacy narrative essay. In the end of this assignment I found out that I turned in almost a completely different paper the only thing that stayed the same was the title and the main point of the writing. After that we spend even more time revising our second essay for Proposition 37 first we started with doing a lot of reading responses and source annotations for essays and articles that relates to our argumentative topic, in addition we wrote a topic proposal and extended outline. Then after all of that work we started writing our research paper and we divided the work and wrote each part separately. Afterward we started revising each other’s papers and giving each other’s feedbacks which helped a lot. In addition to all of that we send our drafts to professor Moberly and he held a conference to speak to us about our writing and to give us even more feedbacks. This process toke us more than half of the semester but after that I felt like a proficient writing about my topic. The major lessons I have learned from this writing process are that the more time and effort you put on your writing the better result you get and that there is no such a thing as final best draft in writing since you could always improve it.
