Giovanelli,Lawson 02/03/20

I have two  ideal writing processes. In the summer, or when the weather is nice, I like to sit outside on our patio with my computer. I like to be outside working because it is nice to be surrounded by fresh air and our patio has a small koi pond so it is very nice to listen to the flowing water while working. If the weather is poor, and I can not be outside, I would be sitting at a desk typing on a computer. The room would be cold and I would have a coffee and would be playing country music in the background. I would want to be sitting at a desk because I feel it helps me focus and I can not work on a computer in bed. I like it when it is cold in my room because that also helps me focus. Coffee and music are for more energy when I begin to lose focus. I also like to sit down and write an entire assignment in one sitting and I usually only do one revision for most assignments. Giovanelli really drove home the idea that revisions are crucial to a good essay and with every revision the piece can get better. This does not mean that every time you revise the piece gets better but most of the time it does. In Lawsons piece she describes how she started writing face down on the floor with no arms and was using the dictation feature on her phone to write. This brings up the idea that you don’t need to be in the perfect environment to begin writing a great piece. I found that chapter entertaining and enjoyable to read and she started writing it face down on the floor which is pretty cool.
