Dear Robert.

Writing the literacy narrative has truly been a process. Not only has it just been the

process of steps I had to take with creating this paper but also the process of what was going on

in my head. I’m normally not used to having invention work, drafts, or peer review. I’m the type

of writer who just writes up the final draft and revises the writing along the way. It was

somewhat difficult having to have a process but in a way I liked it.

To be honest, I wasn’t thrilled about having student’s read through my rough draft

because I wasn't a hundred percent confident with my draft and I knew there were many things I

needed to fix within the writing. After I got the peer review sheets back and after reading the

comments my classmates gave me, I was intrigued by this process. The comments my classmates

gave me were very helpful. I didn’t realize some of the things that needed to be revised until I

got another person’s opinion. Also I would say that the invention work helped me out a lot too. I

first had to get past the fact that my hand was cramping from free writing and looping but I got

over it. I surprisingly ended up using a lot of my invention work and putting it into my literacy

narrative final version. Although it took time going through the writing process, I think it did

however help me with creating my final version.

Overall I believe the outcome of my work was a success. It was difficult starting the

whole process but once my brain started flowing, my literacy narrative paper started flowing too.

I am impressed with my final version and I can definitely see the improvement from my drafts to

my final version. My final version has a lot more detail and stories that make the paper more

interesting to read. I am glad that I got this first writing process done with because I feel like

with the next writing process I will be more prepared about how to go about it. I’m ready to take

on the next writing assignment and begin the writing process all over.
