The process from my initial draft to the final version undermines the nature of the writing process, the transformation in both in depth analysis and overall length. The first draft primarily served as a vessel for putting down the raw thoughts onto paper/ just getting the ideas out. This approach I have used my whole life when drafting papers. It is impossible to get everything down in one sitting so coming back to it later helps a lot. When revisiting the initial draft, a huge deliberate change is made, and it steps my writing up. The transition from “Anderson states” to the more elaborate, “Anderson talked about the next generation and what technology is going to do to them and what is going to happen long term,” exemplifies this revision. This process is quite common because I have seen my classmates use it when reading their papers. So, when I start drafting my papers, I make sure to have the quotes and the analysis with them to further explain them. Then I shape my writing around them, I write my introduction which I try to write the whole thing, then the introduction of the quotes and tying them together. If you go and look at my work sample page, you can see my body paragraphs almost double in size. This is caused by the process I have explained. This process has not only helped me expand my writing but it better help me understand what I am writing and understand it more. Writing at different times helps ideas flow better and you can think of new stuff later on that you didn’t before.
