In this post I answer questions about my writing process over the semester.

• The biggest challenges I faced overall? Overall.....the biggest challenges were revising, because initially I didn't like to revise , and when I did I never did a true in depth revision. So the revising process was a challenge for me, maybe not some much as the content part, but the grammar mistakes and sentence technicalities, were and still are a challenge. In the blog post " identifying basic grammar patterns , I basically sum up my writing in a few words, "I don't analyze anything I write , I just write whatever comes out of my head first ."  
• (Identifying basic Grammar Patterns)

• What I  learned about my time management , writing , and editorial skills? Well as stated above my editorial skills are a bit lacking but as far as my writing skills go, I've always been pretty confident about them, but I have like added more...... awareness about my writing skills  I guess. I know how to consider my audience and genre now and incorporate rhetorical strategies into whatever context i'm writing about.

• What do you know more about the concept of genre? I've think I've learned everything there is to know about researching my genre. and considering my genre when getting ready to write my draft. In the Audience and Genre blog I thought it was extremely helpful to pick the type of audience you want and then direct the content of your writing towards them , which , again I found really helpful when writing. (Audience and Genre) 

• What skills might you develop further? My grammar skills are in desperate need of development, but other than that I think considering my genre is also something I would develop further, because picking the right genre for your writing can determine how the rest of it will go.
• Most effective moment? The most effective moment of the semester was probably analyzing rhetorical strategies in the sources we picked, because once I could recognize the strategies other authors used I could use them in my own writing, also being able to recognize and then utilize the different appeals in works of writing is going to be extremely helpful for the future. So even though it was long the analyzing rhetorical strategies was helpful and made me an effective writer for the rest of the assignments. (Analyzing Rhetorical Strategies in .....)

• Least effective moment? For me the least effective moment out of the whole semester were writing the lovely Clarity blogs, because even though I somewhat lack the revision skills in editing my grammar it still didn't help with my editing and that particular thing is still something I need to develop further in my writing. Which isn't really grammar based but just basic revision skills that I always overlook.
