This blog post will be about reflective writing, and how I have been using it to work on my Life Choice memoir. I watched “Reflective writing” on YouTube to really get a sense of what it is, and how my Life-Choice Memoir is a great example of it. Down below I will answer some questions about my own Life-Choice Memoir.
1) Who did you work with to compose your life-choice memoir? Was this a good approach?I did not work with, anyone yet for my Life-Choice Memoir, because I am only on the first draft. However, I do intend to work with my teacher, Mr. Mangini, to revise my paper as time goes along. I feel this will be effective in helping me learn about my writing process further, as I continue to edit it. 2) What rhetorical mode, and genre are you using? I am using the rhetorical mode of narration. And I am writing in the genre of non-fiction, and the sub-genre of memoir. 3) When did you write this project? Good approach?I was a little scared to start writing this project seeing as it was such large scale compared to other things we had done in the class; so, I had waited until past the first deadline to write it. In hindsight this was a bad idea, and I intend to finish the next drafts as soon as I possibly can. 4) Where did you write this project? Good approach? I wrote my memoir while I was at home, and refreshed in the morning so I had as much time as I needed, while being comfortable in my own home. I found this was a good approach because my thoughts were clear, and I was ready to write on my own terms. 5) Why did you choose to write about this topic? Good approach? I chose to write about what I did because it is close to me, and it was a situation I wanted people to be aware of, maybe it could help someone stuck in a similar situation someday. I thought it was a good idea to write about, because it is a situation I remember very well, and I weirdly like writing about. 6) How did it feel to write this narrative ("during, after, and since")? Do you have any "if only" moments that can help you revise the draft? During the first draft it felt sort of intimidating, because I wanted to get it perfect from the first try. After I was finished I felt proud that I had written it, and I realized it wasn’t as bad as I had really thought it would be. And since I have constantly been thinking of ways to improve it, and I’m rather excited to see the finished product. 7) How will you revise your narrative? I will revise it by handing copies to my teacher, Mr. Mangini, to have him review them, before I go back into it, and not only make the adjustments he deems necessary, but to adjust on my own feeling for the narrative.

AuthorI am a student at Delaware County Community College. This blog servers multiple purposes, the foremost being that it is to showcase many of my English Composition 1 assignments. However, it also serves to give a look into my writing processes, my personal life, and my own opinions. It is also an amazing showcase of how i have grown over the year, and how my English Composition course has influenced me within just a few short months. Archives
