Ordered List of what I did to develop my writing for one of my assignments

Personal Essay
1. Brainstormed: made a list of possible topics (things we wanted to write about and things we would never write about)
2. Decided on a topic that was personal but that I needed to explore
3. I made a list of relevant events that might be included in my story
4. I narrowed my list to 3 specific events that I could tie together but still keep the story in a segmented format.
5. I decided on an order for my segments that would be successful to the overall meaning of the essay
6. I began to write about these events.
7. I re-read and revised before posting.
8. I met with Prof Chandler and she gave me insight on what I could fix to make the piece stronger.
9. I added more segments about different events that took place and changed the order of the segments.
10. I proof read and posted final copy.
11. The end.
