Rough Process
My writing process started with first trying to come up with atopic that would be relevant to today’s society and have enough to do with popular culture to keep the readers interested. The hard part to this process was was also finding something that I could relate to and be interested in enough to spend a considerable amount of time on and not lose interest. My conclusion was sports and I found a topic in that field. My next step was to find sources that would be relevant to my topic. This was probably one of the most time consuming parts of the whole process. I searched the internet, the library, and even thought about interviews, but ultimately came to the conclusion that an interview would not be very beneficial. After hours of research, I was ready to start the writing process. I started off by brainstorming ideas and even made a “web” of thoughts and where I could go with my essay. The Source Analysis made the process of breaking my sources down a much smoother process. It helped me to understand two of my sources in depth and led me to analyze my other sources to a deeper extent as well. I broke down all of my sources and marked them up to find key points of the sources that would help to support or argue my point of view. After analyzing, I went back through and highlighted the points that would make it into my essay. After that I was ready to start an outline, which would be what my paper would look like and what it would cover in each paragraph. At that point I knew that I was ready to start the rough draft. I would compare my writing process to blind driving. I didn’t know where I wsa going but when I got there, I was happy that I chose the path that I did.
