The recursive writing process is a process that can be used in all of life and especially within your discipline while in college. Not only do we need to know how to write papers but we also need to know how to write in general. All of these strategies have enhanced my writing ability over the last fifteen weeks. When reading something for the first time it is important to read it actively and truly “digest” what the author is saying. This is true for literally anything we read in our lives. The following four parts are specifically about actually preparing to write a paper and writing one. However, in my college career these will be very important to writing successful and meaningful papers. You can draft a paper without brainstorming or polish a paper without revising it but it would not be worth it. It is all about the process and ensuring that your work is the best work you can do. All of these skills are transferrable for the rest of my life.
