House Process & Adaptation: Forging the Blade
No sword is forged in one strike, and no essay is written in one sitting. In the early days of this course, I tried to write everything at once, like charging into battle without armor. Over time, I learned the patient work of the forge: brainstorming, outlining, drafting, peer review, and revision.
My Multimodal Literacy Narrative and Visual Rhetorical Analyses show how I adapted my process for different battles. Sometimes I needed a light, personal tone like a quiet conversation by the fire; sometimes I needed academic language as sharp as Valyrian steel. In every case, the process — not just the final product — became my strongest weapon.
Adapting to New Battles
Each assignment in ENC 1101 presented a unique challenge, demanding a tailored approach. From the personal reflection required in the Multimodal Literacy Narrative to the analytical rigor needed for the Visual Rhetorical Analyses, I learned to adjust my writing style and process to meet the specific demands of each task.
This adaptability wasn't just about changing my tone; it was about fundamentally rethinking how I approached each project. I learned to identify the core objectives, understand the audience, and then forge a writing strategy that aligned with both.
From Frantic Sprints to Strategic Marathons
Initially, my writing process resembled a frantic sprint to the finish line. I would sit down and try to force an entire essay out in one go, often leading to frustration and subpar results. Over time, I embraced a more measured, strategic approach – a writing marathon, if you will.
This involved breaking down the writing process into smaller, manageable steps: brainstorming ideas, creating detailed outlines, drafting different sections separately, seeking peer feedback, and then meticulously revising my work. This structured approach not only improved the quality of my writing but also made the entire process less daunting and more enjoyable.
