25 Aug What kind of writer are you?
You are a writer. No way around that. You’ve already written something for this class. So, you’re a writer.
But what kind of writer are you?
When do you write? How do you write? What’s your attitude toward writing?
Who are you writing for?
You’re writing for someone who is curious to know about you and your experiences as a writer: what you’ve done, how you feel, what you hope to do.
They know nothing about you or your past experiences writing but want to get an idea of what you’ve done and where you’re coming from.
Pre-Writing: Considering the Past
Before writing the actual piece, spend some time thinking about your experiences as a writer. Think about what you’ve done, when you’ve done it, and why you did it.
Consider your attitude toward these things you’ve done. How do you see yourself? What has shaped your views?
Try to think about writing throughout your life.
Remember when writing your draft:
Your audience knows nothing about you, so draft to communicate to them in a manner that fulfills their needs. You’re writing directly to the audience above.
