When I was composing My Hiraeth, I worked by myself. Working on my own is most of the time, the best option for me. When by myself for My Hiraeth typing was the best option for me because it helps me to concentrate much better with no distraction. I like to listen to music as I compose my work. The most difficult part of my composition was the thought process. It was difficult to find a point in my life that I yearned a home that I could not go back to. I helped overcome this by thinking for a few minutes. I wrote this composition a few days before it was due and I believe was the best thing for me to do at the time because it gave me plenty of time to revise and edit. I composed my work on My Hiraeth at home on my computer where I could be alone and listen to music while I type. I chose to write about the time I was a child, because it was the best part of my life and since I am not a child anymore, I can reflect upon the past and see that I miss it very much and wish I could go back: hence my hiraeth. For future revision of my work I have a SIX-STEP process:

In this course, we define a composition as a whole product being composed of many different parts, such as an essay. An essay is composed of many different parts such as the thesis statement, material with source-based argumentive elements, imagery, and descriptions. In this class, Sabatino asks us to write so we can reflect on what we are thinking and therefore learn more about what we have in mind. It also helps learn more about ourselves and being messy is a good thing, because we can use it to become stronger. As a writer in this class, I feel as if I am improving my appreciation for what many journalists go through to share knowledge from what they have experienced and give their audience a glimpse of what is happening in the world. I have also learned to appreciate the mistakes I make to learn from them because they help me become stronger and better in terms of progress. Making mistakes and being messy is what needs to be done. A first draft should always be messy so I can go over it and learn from my mistakes, not only through writing but also in life. I have finally learned about what questions to ask as a writer and how to structure my arguments in essays and just essays in general. I have learned about presenting descriptive imagery in my writing and to also reflect upon what I have written. Even though I am not really into writing, myself, It has assisted in giving me lessons on living my life the way that would help bring more progress to the table. Not only does making mistakes become an important task to achieve but to also have a structured life. A structure that can be messy but later become a light at the end of the tunnel for guidance. In this blog post, I will write about the similarities of an episode of Chef's Table: Francis Mallman and this class.
For my Academic Mindset Writing Process assignment, my conduction of the task was by myself but with some help from using my computer to research some of the material being focused on. I believe this was the best approach for me because the power of the internet that we have today is at such an effortless task to access, any questions or confusions I have can be answered from easy reach. My writing process had some difficult and easy parts, but the most difficult for me was having a more understanding on the two mindsets that I was wanting to describe so I could accurately argue my points with research behind them and make valid points. To argue and describe my mindset and reason behind it, research was needed to have a clearer mind of my argument. I also needed to reflect upon my past experiences, analyze my thoughts, and then predict the future with the same mindset based on my history of it. It was a challenge but with effort, I overcame the difficult task. I typed my draft on my PC at home about a week ago on Microsoft word and I feel like was a great approach versus just manually writing on paper. Typing for me is much faster and less fatiguing because when I write, especially a long essay, my arm and hands become exhausted. Any mistakes I make, I can easily delete and restart without a physical mess due to scribbles. My draft took about two days to produce. This I believe was a good approach because I took my time on the project, re-edited, and revised it to make sure it at least made sensible points.
I chose to write this topic because I believed it would reflect my writing process in the future and would be great practice for me to learn to become a better and more skilled writer. In the future, I plan to revise and adapt my writing process by having a new six-step process from this one:
The new six-step process I plan to follow is:
