My Life as a Writer
Before this class, I had a strong dislike for writing, constrained by rigid structures and a lack of personal perspective. My earlier experiences, shaped by middle and high school, focused excessively on mechanics rather than the essence of writing. However, through exploring literacy memoirs and reflective practices, I unlocked non-methodical writing avenues, transforming my approach. By the course's end, I developed greater adaptability and motivation, enhancing my understanding of writing processes. Now, I feel empowered to write authentically across various contexts.

My Life as a Writer Bradley Richardson
Before This Class • Heavily disliked writing • The only types of writing I had done were according to a set, non-flexible structure • I never really considered the purpose of structure or how changing this could complement a piece of writing • Didn’t have much of a writing process that I used
Before this class • 7th grade writing teacher • I had been adjusted by middle and high school to focus on mechanics rather that more important things in writing • I had never truly written from a personal perspective
Literacy Memoir • Opened my mind to non-methodistic ways of writing • Made me reflect on my past experiences with writing • Allowed me to consider the true purpose of writing • Made me think about revising my associations with writing
DCP Report • A type of writing I was more familiar with from high school • Allowed me to realize the difference in writing mentalities my high school self and myself while I was writing this • Gave me better reason to think about my structure rather than blindly following what I’m told to do
Writer’s Reflection • Made me fully see the difference between my writing at the beginning of this class and at the end • Gave a good point of comparison
After this class • My adaptivity is much higher • I have a better idea of how to use writing processes to my advantage • I have more motivation to write as it comes easier to me now • I will consider the purposes of things in general more
Application • I will have a better idea of what mentality to be in when I’m writing in a job • Since I’m more adaptive, I’ll be able to write optimally in a variety of situations.
