OK I started off Friday in TOTAL DARKNESS.( WE had a Blackouit and my room has noooo windows!) After that the whole day was like I was walking in a fog. I think it all led to me forgetting my blog! THe kids were late to school for picture day, I had to deal with my mother and her errand running for the month. I got so caught up in pleasing everybody under the sun, I forgot about everything else. I came home exhausted from the heat and remembered I had to go right back out into it. I forgot to pay my bills. Long story short, I forgot to blog... Here goes with apologies for my forgetfullness.
Writing is a process There are five steps named in the writing process. I like to remember them by the acronym PDREP I guess it is easier for me to remember that way.
The P stands for Prewriting which usually consists of Brainstorming. Idea webs and basic ideas you may or may not want to include in your writing. The D stands for Draft the first writing that is done after collecting the ideas and deciding what you are going to write about,and what will be included. The R is for Revising which is going through and taking out or adding what you want in your writing. The E is for the mechanics of it all. This is when the concerns for mispellings,rewording and punctuation come into the paper it is at that time when editing occurs.Finally the P stands for Publish that means you turn it in or put it up on the wall when the process is completed. So to sum this up Writing is a Process and I think if you think about it as PDREP remebering it will come a lot easier. :)
