Starting with the In-class writing, the pieces here are samples taken from our in-class writing sessions we would have about every week or so. The teacher would give us an assigned topic and a time limit, and we were to write down our opinions and thoughts about the topic. These are the four samples I thought best showcased my ability and growth as a writer this year.

8/28/09 Shitty First Drafts (midterm)
1.) The thing that I found most surprising was how much the author struggled to get started finding an idea to write about. Being a professional author, she struggled almost more than I usually do in composing a first brainstormed draft.
2.) Our writing processes both relate in the sense that we both express whatever we think in our minds, and just jot them down as future reference. Also, it takes time for me to start composing a solid foundation in writing an essay, but once I do, its usually smooth sailing from there.
3.) Yes, I follow Lamott's idea of taking what other people say, or observing things around me to include in a writing composition. My ideas are not limited to just my own, that's one of the main things I incooperate in my literature.
