Section 2

Dear Reader,

I have received some feedback about my writing, and I just wanted to let you know my processes while I was writing, and how I am going to change my writing. To be completely honest, almost all of the time when I write, I just write whatever comes to mind. I don't really revise it too much except for at the end when I finish the text. I never had to write more than one draft, so my first draft was always my final draft. Since I just write what comes to mind, I don't really brainstorm or map out what I'm going to write about, which to me is easier and more effective, but maybe not to others. Because I am not used to writing more than just one draft, it is hard for me to know how I should revise my writing. I am not saying I'm a great writer, because I don't think I am, but I got very little constructive criticism on any of my pieces. Most of the comments were the reader agreeing with what I was writing about. The one comment that has stuck with me though, is Mrs Erturk found the computer voices I used in my genre project to be "annoying". That sort of has stuck with me ever since. I took a poll amongst my peers, however, and the majority said that they at least accepted the computer voices, and some even preferred them over human voices. I used the computer voices because it was original, and no one had done it before. It actually took more time to record and use the computer voices than it would take to use my own voice or someone else's. I really am proud of the work that I did, and I prefer it over human voices. With all that being said, I am not going to change the voices in my work. Mrs. Erturk did like the added captions during each slide, so I do plan on adding more of those in my project. But like I said, I got very little constructive criticism so I honestly do not know what else I should change in my project and writing.
