HW 2/12

HW 2/12 Summarizing The Everyday Writer 58-122

            Due to the large amount of text this summary will include topics I part take in and I find interesting. Early in the reading I truly practiced the techniques of brainstorming and word pictures to improve my writing desire and stamina. Writing sometimes takes to damn long, but when there’s a doodle accompanying it I suddenly feel cheery and not bored. On pages 66-67 we learn to gather the right and relatable information to support our thesis as it’s a usual problem with students who write. I found storyboarding to be an interesting new technique I might begin trying. Its usage of visuals and information seem quite gracefully combined, and it avoids logical vomit on my paper. On page 80 its actually promoted to dedicate a paragraph to defining a concept or word which I found interesting when it can also been seen as clutter or “fluff.” I found a section on page 114 that targets “it” and “there” with examples of proper substitution. This area is tough and is what I usually require work on, this involves my creative writing ability to figure out new intros to my sentence.
