All
I need for this assignment is the following to be addressed. The essay is attached that needs to be edited. Its labeled “edited this essay” No sources. This essay was already
submitted to the teacher and this is the comments I received back:
“This
is a good start. I can see that you have a solid grasp of the ideas in the
reading, but your exploration of your own writing process is quite elusive.
Tell me more about yourself! You could open the essay, for example, with a
story or event/experience involving writing that was joyful or painful. You
mention that your reviews were cancelled. What do you mean? Can you say more
about this? When discussing Celestine and the relationship between reading and
writing, talk about your reading habits. Do you have any favorite books? How
has your reading affected the way you think about writing? Is this something
you want to explore ealier on in the essay? What is the most important thing
you want me to see about your writing? As you expand, include quotes from the
reading.
Below are old sources just incase you need to use it.
3 Required Sources: only use these 3 sources.
1.Lamott, “Shitty First Drafts” pdf attached.
2. Davidson, “On Writer’s Block” web link attached
below. Answer the questions below as part of the
assignment. Read both web links.
Many students and experienced writers have trouble starting
writing. The causes for this can be manifold. If you were taught to use
the five-paragraph formula, for example, your teacher might have told you to
start your essay with an introduction, but how can one introduce something one
hasn’t written yet? You might also feel paralyzed because you remember
negative feedback, or you might stop yourself frequently to reread and correct
surface errors.
Have you experienced any of the types of writer’s block
described here? What are some strategies suggested here that you might
want to try out?
How did this article contribute to your understanding of
writer’s block? Which information did you find the most useful?

3. Celestine, “Did I Create the Process? Or Did the Process
Create Me?” pdf attached. Answer the questions below as part of the
assignment.
Take
a few minutes to review the reading: What does Celestine say about the
relationship between reading and writing? He explains that students are often
urged to write to please others, to write what others want. How does this
compare to your own experience of writing? Are there voices that encourage you
to write or hold you back? What does the author say about the environment
needed to write?
Celestine
wrote this essay for a first-year college writing class. How did he organize
his essay? How does he use details to illustrate his point?
