Part of the Process

Once getting the Unit 1 topic in class, I immediately began thinking of what I should do my ad about. Throughout the day, I kept thinking of how I could start my paper, how many paragraphs could there be, and how on Earth I am going to write three full pages. When I got to my room I was able to go through the ads very quickly and pick the ad that I had in mind. I began the first rough draft by free-writing, this is my most preferable style of drafting. I expanded the writing over the next couple of days. This allowed me to develop my thoughts better and come up with more ideas and techniques. Honestly, the mandatory drafts played a huge role in my paper being well thought out and developed. I am one who procrastinates a lot (and I'm trying to break that). If the mandatory drafts were not due, I may just now me starting on the paper and would ultimately receive a lower grade. The workshop groups really helped, I was able to see areas I needed to improve, while also boosting my confidence in writing. At the same time, I was able to help others in both confidence and their writing. Both, the mandatory draft and the workshop, were main components of having my paper complete, developed, and well written.
