January 30th response

Summary Ransom
In the paper "How do I Write" Dominique Ransom explains her research process. She explains all the different types of obstacles she has to overcome while writing. For example, she talks about some of the distractions and mistakes she encounters while writing.
Other Question to Consider
- Some of the things that interested me about this chapter are her revision process and how she dealt with her distractions. If I did my own research I would focus on how the audience plays into a person's writing.
- I don't think taking notes makes me write, its more the exploring different types of research that leads to my ideas.
Response
I enjoyed this piece because it gave me some ideas how I should write my next paper. I didn't like the blandness though I always try to add something extra to my writing to help make it more enjoyable for the reader.
Harris
In the article "Composing Behaviors of One-and Multi-Draft Writers", Muriel Harris shows the pro's and con's of one draft and multi draft papers and discusses the problems that develop in each.
1. I am a multi-draft writer because I am always revising and changing minor details in my papers.
2. Well if a person only wrote one draft then he or she might have missed some details that could possibly change to point of view of the paper. However, if a person wrote a multi-draft paper then he or she might lose focus on the true idea.
Response
I enjoyed this piece because it gave me good advice on how I should start my next paper. It showed me that I need to make sure I'm aware of the main point of my paper and not lose it in to many drafts.
