Intro to Writing Experience

In this piece, we were asked to write about our best writing experience. While most people may have discussed their favorite essay, or a specific revelation they had while writing, I generalized the topic. I talked about a broad phenomenon that I experience almost every time I write. Before I begin writing something, I frame out all the points I plan to address, taking note of the support I may use. I explain however that overwhelmed with all the structure I’ve built around me, I grow unsure of my own thesis. I often manage however, to bring myself back around to my argument, using my skepticism to further support myself. I am learning how to rely less on these writing revelations though. One of the most aiding pieces of advice my senior year English teacher told us is to diverge from the preconceived structures of writing we grew up learning. While I don’t want to abandon all structure entirely, I am coming to understand that by breaking the preexisting rules taught earlier in life, I can enhance my writing. What I am mainly trying to say in this piece is that my best writing comes forth from an overwhelming struggle that I must overcome.
