At the beginning of this week, I was slightly scared of how complex
this next writing project is going to be. Yet, today during class when Zack
made us perform the activity of looking through a microscope for specific
parts, I realized that for this WP, I have to just take my time and look at each
piece as more of a writer than an overwhelmed reader. Then I can begin to evaluate
specific parts such as audience, purpose, and conventions that each piece
contains. Overall, I’m beginning to see that writing is like building a house
(even though I have no idea how to actually build a house). We have to make
sure we have a parallel structure (parallelisms) so that the house isn’t
crooked and confusing with rooms shaped like triangles. We must use different
building blocks (moves) that all help to support each other like wood, brick,
and cement so that our house isn’t a Three Little Pigs shack made out of one dull
material. And lastly, we build the roof, which can be the thesis as it
incorporates and holds everything, but would be nothing without the foundation
and structure.
I also have to mention how much the
writing process tips have helped me get through times of writers block and being
stuck in a certain rut. They are awesome and really help me to get my ideas
unscrambled from head and onto the paper.
