🌸LIT102 Blog #3- Learn to Write With Me (The Writing Process- Take #2) 🧐

I discovered and learned a lot about the writing process last week from Mrs. Lazarus in our LIT102 session. However, I realize now, that I blogged prematurely last week. This is so because I delved even deeper this week and gained some newfound knowledge. Therefore, I am presenting to you, part 2 of "Learning to Write With Me"

Lights💡 Camera 🎥 ACTION! 🎬

W hen the pen hits the paper, a topic springs to life!

R elax and let the ideas flow, like a river.

I n time you will curate information like a library, growing bigger and bigger

T weak every word, every mark, with precision and care!

I ncorporate each notion into a take, deep and rare.

N ever fixate solely on the final goal but,

G rant your readers a journey as each sentence rolls.

P repare to revise, for the task is never complete!

R eview, regroup, and refine the beat.

O rganize your ideas with a thoughtful mind!

C raft vivid scenes and worlds, where readers find

E ntrance from reality's grip...

S urrender to inspiration, and let your creativity rip.

S hare what you have written; see it in its own perfection!

The process of writing is not a single event, but rather a cycle, involving stages such as pre- writing, drafting, revising, editing and finally, publishing. 

The beauty of the writing process lies in its transformative power. Through the act of writing, ideas take flight, as thoughts and feelings are expressed in a way that is deep and creative. Since this process as aforementioned is recursive in nature, writers have the flexibility to revisit and revise their work iteratively. 

The stages of pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing represent the dynamic phases of the writing process, enabling individuals to meticulously refine their work by moving back and forth between these stages as they see fit.

Take this, my second attempt as an example; notice how I refined my post on the writing process? This is because I gained a deeper insight during this week's session! 

Remember guys, planning is crucial for the effectiveness of this process. It's okay to go back and forth! 

Here is what really, really, REALLY caught my attention this week. Although it might appear insignificant, the exercise of having my classmates evaluate my descriptive piece for the assignment prescribed, proved to be extremely beneficial. Having another person assess your work offers a fresh perspective as they can highlight: your shortcomings, areas that require improvement, and aspects that you may have missed on your own, which ideally can enhance the quality of your piece. In listening to my classmate's assessments of my work I could have definitely seen where I needed to add a little more 🥩 (meat) to it.

Here therein lies the beauty of the writing process--the ability to revisit and enrich my content based on feedback shared.

Talk about the “write” path! This is definitely an exercise I will consider continuing on my journey to literary excellence! Until next time guys... toodles!
