Everyone has a different writing style, these are some quotes from authors and myself on the writing process.
Teaching Writing as a Process Not a Product (Don Murray) It is the process of exploration of what we should know and what we feel about what we know through language” (Murray 2). “The writing process itself can be divided into three stages: pre-writing, writing, and rewriting” (Murray 2). “Next by placing opportunity for discovery in your student’s hands” (Murray 3). The Daily Writing Routines of Great Writers (Maria Popova) “Then I start the next day by redoing all of what I did the day before, following these evening notes.” - Joan Didion “And keep on retyping it, each time making corrections both by hand and directly on the typewriter, until I don’t see how to make it any better.” - Susan Sontag “I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind.” - Haruki Murakami Bird by Bird: Some Intructions on Writing and Life (Anne Lamott) “Very few writers really know what they are doing until they’ve done it” (Lamott 5). “The person may not have an answer to what is missing or annoying about the piece, but writing is so often about making mistakes and feeling lost” (Lamott 9). “Almost every writer I’ve ever known has been able to find someone who could be both a friend and a critic” (Lamott 13). My Writing Process “Get your ideas down first, don’t worry about spelling and grammar at this point just write all of your ideas” “Keep rewriting and making corrections until it’s good enough to be published” “Write about what you’re passionate about, not what’s popular in today’s society
