301 Blog 4 Prior Tracing Process

When I view this document I can see many forms of Co-Authorship in pages E and 17. What I mean is that the Author had outside input from the teacher and one of their peers. This is an unavoidable process when people give you input on your work. Especially when you turn a text into an instructor. Many instructors do not take credit for the Co-Authorship these new young writers are not as experienced and know the things that the they know. Document E also is an example of Text Based interviewing by asking the author questions that challenge their writing process and make them think about the contents of their particular piece.

Before the instructor made comments on the Cover letter draft it showed the basic concepts which are Inscription, Composing, and text. This process is where people come up with their big ideas and outlines and is a very important part of following where a text is going. I can look at this draft, read the comments by the instructor, then go and look at the final draft to see what changes were made to the document. It is relatively easy to trace and can show you exactly where ideas came from. This draft was developed through the writers job skill free write and the writers Audience Free write.

The project obviously started with the Initiating text. It told the author exactly what needed to be accomplished in the text and which way to go about it. I believe that the last text produced was the writers response to the project. I feel that it is as important as the text itself because the writer states everything that he or she learned from the process.

It is a difficult and tedious process to try to trace texts, and see exactly what the history of that particular text is. But if you pay attention and try to follow certain examples and clues, you can figure out what a writers process was in going through with writing a certain text document. Many writers spend months on one particular document, that doesn't always mean that a writer was really lazy and spend an incredible amount of time on a single document, they had many drafts and revisions which make that document so much more interesting to see how it was written.

BLOG #3 Faigley

Going from Faigleys Social Perspective on writing, which "focuses on the process of composing, but this perspective understands process in far broader terms. In social perspective, writing processes donot start with"prewriting" and stop with "revising.""

The Social perspective is a continuous process of communitcation because when somebody reads a written text they are able to relay that information by letter or verbatium. They are "Links in the communicative chain." The examples in the text all show things that a social perspective writer needs to obtain. It all consists of "social relations, tensions, or conflicts that go beyond the text."

A person who takes on this task must have their own way to describe the world around them. They also need to know how language can create a since of "social identity." Kind of like how southerners refer themselves that way and act a certain way to portray that view to society. They also must know all sources of written media that they can reach readers through.

The research program would take all texts in a bigger view of writing. It would look at the writers thoughts and beliefs and how they came to think that way. It wouldn't only examine a persons composition but it would also go by where the information was obtained.

BLOG #2 Jack Selzner

Selzner convinces me that he has done extensive careful observation, because of how in depth his description of Nelsons writing practices are. He goes into Nelsons education, then talks about where he lives and exactly what he does. This article is very convincing because he goes into Nelsons writing style, which by the article he comes up with the main idea, gets all of his points out there then doesn't think twice about changing it. A lot of my writing is done like that. Selzner also goes into Nelson's arrangement style in his papers. Nelson creates an outline, then marks groups and sub groups. When he drafts he uses pen and paper, a lot of times he uses material that he has written previously. He makes an important point at the end, he states that just because this is what Nelson does that it isn't exactly the writing process of all engineers. Many can do it another way. I feel that he went through every step of the writing process to show us this that it proves that he definitely did all the extensive research necessary to make this article work.

Blog #1 Types of Writers

Creative:
Creative writing is the aspect of writing that interests me the most. I feel that this is something that I will be involved with in my career and it is what I love to do. You can break creative writers up into several categories, you have your authors, (Novels, fiction, non-fiction, short story, poems, etc...) there are songwriters, play-writes, sitcom writers, comedians, sketch writing, and screenplay writing. I am a professional comedian so most of my writing energy go into my material that I like to preform onstage.

Other brands of writers include those in the legal system stenographers, people who put subpoenas together, even lawyers do a good bit of writing for their profession. Media and newspaper writers, magazine article writers, commercials, business, advertisement, medical. There are an infinite number of fields that writers can be involved in.

I would like to build on my creative writing, in order to do that and become a better writer, I feel that I need to learn as much about every type of writing that I can.
