This was our first project for Writing 220. We preceded it with a short exercise highlighting why we don’t write, which I found helpful for focusing my “Why I Write” project. I have uploaded my first, second, and final drafts in separate tabs, with a description of the edits I made during my process for each stage, as well as the “Why I Don’t Write” exercise. Through the process of this project, I had the opportunity to reflect on what makes me a writer. I found this to be extremely valuable; it is hard to create work when you don’t really understand the reasons why you do. I came to understand myself more as well as my motives for pursuing writer in lieu of any other passion.
