PERSONAL WRITING PROCESS
My Personal Writing Process
According to Beer (2011), “Writing is a Skill and it can be Improved”. My writing skill
started developing from my school days. During my initial school days, I used to become
perplexed by the name of writing an essay. I used to find it as nail breaking task. However, as I
grew up and got promoted to high school, my skills in writing essays got improved and the same
got reflected in my grade sheet. According to Beer (2011), good writers used strategies in order
to refine their writing skills. My strategy of writing an essay while I was in high school was, first
reading the topic given by the teacher and researching about the topic. Initially, the majority of
the topics which are assigned to the students while they are in schools are from the subjects
which are taught in their classes. So researching and reading about the topic mainly encompass
reading the study materials and then structuring the material in a specific flow like introduction,
discussion of the body of the essay or blog and finally the conclusion. Since from school, we are
taught to make the introduction engaging, crisp and short as this helps to grab the attention of the
readers. I always attempted to make my introduction attractive to my teachers or projected
readers so that it compels them to read the entire assignment. However, I used to write my
introduction at the end. This is because Greetham (2013) highlighted that introduction needs to
highlight the main points that will be discussed in the body of the essay. So while writing the
main body of the essay, I get an idea about the structure of the essay in detail and then I used to
frame the introduction in an attractive manner. At the end I used to write the conclusion. No new
concept or data was introduced in the conclusion and it was a summarized version of the entire
assignment (Adler-Kassner & Wardle, 2015). While writing the body of the essay, I mainly used
to break it into various paragraphs with logical flow of writing. At end, I used to revise my work
to iron out grammatical errors and typos and then used to submit my assignment. Because
