How am I writing?

As the end of the year approaches, a propper time for reflection as regards what has been learnt arrives. Throughout this course we have been dealing with different models for writing, which consist on processes and steps that should be followed in order to write a correct text taking everything needed into account. Also, we dealt with information on how paragraphs and texts should be structured. All this information has been very valuable to improve our writing.

It is possible to see, thanks to this, that my writing process has changed since the beginning of the year. Before attending this course, my writings used to have very little or no planning. My process consisted on writing the words as they came and then re-reading and making corrections, sometimes rewriting whole paragraphs and ideas. Now, I plan most of the text in advance: what the ideas will be and how they will be presented. Thanks to this, drafts are much more organized and corrections are much simpler. Therefore, it can be said that my writing has not only changed, but they have improved.
