In the article, Writers’ Histories, Processes, and Identities Vary, written by Kathleen Blake Yancey, she talks about how human beings share histories and engage in similar processes, and how each writer is unique. Each writer is a combination of different traits that make us all human. Each writer begins a lifelong process of balancing perspectives and processes of a larger culture. Writer’s identities are when they live. What they have experienced, their histories, and their identity markers. Each writer requires a different approach. Similarly, in the article, Writing is Informed by Prior Experience, by Andrea A. Lunsford, she also talks about how writing is shaped by interactions and experiences. Writers tend to draw from their past experiences to write an essay.
I have been required to follow a certain writing process, and it has worked against me. I am used to high school-level writing. the five paragraphs using the acronym TIQA. This has worked against me recently because I am starting to learn how to write at a college level, but the high school level is just what I think of when writing.
