Narrative Process Writing

Process Writing
When I first started to even think of this paper, I drew a blank. I had just done a descriptive paper on this very same topic and didn’t think new ideas were going to happen if I write about it again. I thought of writing about an experience to Cambodia when I was in the competition but after carefully thinking it through, I stuck with my old idea and let it grow. I had thought about how I wanted to write the paper for a few days. Thoroughly contemplating the good and bad of each idea. At first I just wanted to write a story in a way of like a recorded memory but then that idea turned into a diary story. Finalized on that idea I start my paper without a set title, just a “throw it out there” title. Getting through half of the paper, I realize that I want to make this paper like a story that others could find years in the future so I write down the time, date, place of, and event before the first paragraph to make the paper seem like a story in a lost book. Then I traded papers with Julie Shelabarger and had some great feedback and new ideas for the 2nd rough draft of my paper. I knew the significance and point of views in my story. After Julie couldn’t understand my point of view I rethought some of my sentences and reworded a couple phrases. I finished up this paper over the weekend and gave another read through which made me feel quite good about this diary type story.
