In the past, and as of now, I never have, and I still do not identify myself as a writer. This is just because I do not believe I am a strong writer. I can write essays that are assigned and answer prompts, but it usually takes me quite some time to actually think about what I’m going to write and how I’m even going to start. With math, there is a certain way to do things and there is a right or wrong answer, that makes it is easier to practice and get better at math. With writing, the prompt or topic is almost completely different every time so it makes it harder to understand what needs to be done. Although, when it is a topic I am passionate about, I can go on for pages on end. This is usually never the case though. My usual writing process starts by me sitting there thinking about how to even start. Then I eventually move on to just writing down topics, then I try to put them in order and get a format from which I can work off of. Once I get a rough copy of the essay down, I will re-read and revise the essay/writing multiple times until it is ready to go. My writing process is long and could definitely be more efficient. By the end of this semester, I want to be able to have a good and well structured writing process and I am hoping to be able to call myself a somewhat strong writer.
