Writings

What I like most about my learning is noticing how much more aware I’ve become of my own writing choices. I’ve learned to slow down and pay attention to how structure, tone, and format shape the audience's experience, especially in digital spaces. I like that I can now look at a piece of web writing and understand why it works, not just that it works. That sense of clarity makes the process feel more intentional and creative.

In my writing process, I am most proud of how organized my process it. It leads to my writing being much quicker, however, I have been able to improve it a lot in this class. It is still much organized but goes much more into depth with different steps and different drafts. I am still looking forward to continuing my process and improving it after this class.

I will adjust responses to the questions to strengthen my point in areas that could be backed up with evidence or analysis from the recent project. Certain answers to questions can not only be hard to explain, but in order to gain trust and credibility, I can adjust them by including evidence to add and back them up.

Thinking about the questions that will shape my web-writing work moving forward, I’m wondering how to keep developing a clear voice while adapting it to different platforms and audiences. I also want to understand how writers maintain consistency over time, especially when juggling long-term projects with fast-paced online content. Mostly just to keep analyzing content and understanding engagement within different spaces is something that I will keep looking at.

Here is an element within my "Connecting Data" section. Does this format make sense, or should I re-format it in a paragraph format? I wasn't sure if this simplified it or just made the ideas more jumbled.

Regarding my writing process, I learned to define and analyze how I write and how to write for certain projects. Previously, my writing process would often be the same for every assignment. However, I have learned to not only reevaluate my process depending on the type of writing, but to also reevaluate the audience. The audience alone can alter the subject and main idea of a piece so much, and I have learned to identify the audience before beginning to identify the best writing process. I think this will definitely help me after college both professionally and on my own within social media.

Over the past couple of weeks, I have learned a lot about drafting. I used to not see drafting as very valuable before this class, as I would not normally make my draft and final much different. My draft was often sufficient enough to be the final project, but this class has made me see the importance in drafting. Taking time to not only write, but to rethink ideas and reanalyze. It makes ideas more valuable and the writing more thought out, and the final result much more polished than the first draft. It truly allowed for me to make my first draft a 'draft', instead of being basically the final project. I think this will definitely help improve my writing process both within college and after college, because I will take more time to write projects.

I think that taking the advice that has been given can not only improve my project revisions, but also my writing as a whole. They can help pinpoint issues in writing as an overall, and therefore overall improve writing for a specific audience. To add, I've never collected data and created a project analysis like in this class, so the feedback I receive in this class is feedback I will have never heard before. This can definitely help improve my writing in this class and in other classes overall.

I am developing style to build my argument by making sure my project is organized in a way that gives all the background info necessary to then start making conclusions. I want to make sure my conclusions are clear and supported by the data I collected. I make sure as well to stay consistent in what types of content I am referencing and how I'm grouping different data to make conclusions.

For my final revision process, I have taken both my past assignment feedback and peer review feedback into consideration to edit my past drafts. I have also made sure I have included many photos and graphs to support my conclusions, and made my final draft more organized, aesthetic, and colorful. I have been struggling with trying to organize my data and cite sources from in class to my conclusions, it has taken a while.
