My writing process is like baking. You have to practice and practice to get the excellent yummyful dish!
Instructions are given (the writing assignment rubric is given). Preheat the oven (find a comfortable spot to write so you can focus). Gather all your main ingredients (gather your main arguments/main points of your paper). Lay them out in front of you and rearrange them in the necessary order (figure out what order your arguments should be discussed in, weak to important). Follow the order and add the ingredients. Make sure your meeting the exact measurements necessary (cover the requirements needed for each argument). After the ingredients are combined together you stir and smooth out the bumps (go over your paper and edit, edit, edit!). Put your creation in the oven and return to it when ready (take a break from writing). After the timer goes off return to it and add any other toppings if necessary (when ready to return put any necessary information needed to make it a finish product). Even though it might look good it might not taste good, take a bite (reread your paper out loud or have someone else revise it). If it taste disgusting and you get upset because you tried really hard to show your family and friends you could make something eatable don't throw it out! Try to figure out what you could of done to make it better. Maybe it needs some different spices or different toppings. Even though it's not what you wanted it to be reward yourself for trying and don't give up (understand what you can work on and do it the next time, be proud of yourself for coming this far and to not give up!).
We all are little bakers but practice makes perfection!
