Writing Process

My writing process includes two steps from the Behrens' writing process. It usually just includes stage four and six. I seem to just start writing. Once I am done, I just check my grammar and punctuation. My writing process is similar because I use two steps. It is different because I am not using four of the essential steps to Behrens' writing process. I think all the steps are important. After reading this chapter I understand why I have struggled on papers in the past. Each one of these steps guides you in the right direction to turn in a great paper. The invention and drafting are the easiest steps for me. Gathering data is the most difficult for me. I usually have a difficult time finding the data and especially when I try to list my sources. I spend the most time gathering the data and drafting. I spend the least amount of my time understanding the task and invention. After reading this chapter and reviewing these steps today, I have now wanted to change my process of changing. I think this has helped me with a new aspect of my writing ability.
