My Writing Process

As I learn the new techniques that the writers of From Inquiry to Academic Writing suggest, I find that I rely on them in my own writing more and more. In the past, I have used questions to find my focus in essays both for myself, and within the essays for my readers. Some new techniques that I have picked up from reading chapters in our texbook are annotation, summarizing, and synthesis. These I had not practiced as much before this course. I find each quite helpful. They not only help me to focus, I feel they will help my readers to have better focus throughout my essays as well.
