D#6, HW#3, Writing Project Reflection
To complete this project, the first step I did was free-writing. I wrote out everything I wanted to include in my proposal, then went through it and put things in the correct order, took out the things that didn't belong, and added things that I forgot. Then after that I had a couple people read through my proposal and edit it, then I re-wrote it a couple times and it was complete. Free-writing works well for me, so I will probably use this method again. I'm most proud of how long I was able to make it! I usually state things very short and to the point, but I was able to ellaborate on this topic. My biggest concern with the proposal is that, although I used more than normal, did not use enough detail and explanations. Before I submitted it, I went through it and tried to make things more clear. If I had more time, I'd have more people edit it specifically for that reason. During this writing project I tried to work on my sentance clarity and explaining what things were. I think I did ok on it, although I know I will do better on it next time. Now at least I know how to fix those mistakes. During the next writing project I will continue to work on sentance clarity and describing and explaining. The course outcomes I worked towards were organizing and using peer's feedback to strengthen my paper. By seeing my final paper, I feel like I achieved these outcomes. In the next project I will focus on voice and the structure of the paper.

Thats interesting that you "freewrite" and then go back and splice and delete. It seems to be working for you so keep it up. Was this something you learned in highschool or college?
I probably learned it in high school. I enjoy writing and that's the best way for me to get my thoughts out without thinking too much!
Ya i need to settle on one way of brainstorming. For me it all depends on how much i have to cram in a night. But i might try that method next time. Sounds like a good way.
