Berkenkotter and Murray

Discussion and Journaling

1}I felt that Murray's writing process was very off the wall so to speak. Seemed like a lot of repeat work but at the same time seemed to work well for him. I at this point have not developed a good writing process. I am still trying to understand the concept of writing as it has been many years since I have had to write. I liked the idea of his dictations. Seems like it would be easier to review and draft your work.

3} Prior to he study of Murray Revision and planning seemed to be 2 separate steps in the writing process. While studying Murray's writing habits she used a coding process to evaluate his process. She realized by this that the 2 were virtually inseparable.He combined them into one process described as Reconciving.

Applying and exploring

1} I have very little writing experience. This is all very new to me. I am at this point trying to understand the steps of the writing process and apply them the best I can to the upcoming paper I am writing. I feel that with experience comes  a better understanding and it's not always the quantity of time you spend but the quality of your work when it is completed but at the same time you do need to put time and effort into your work.

As I referred to in one of the prior questions, I like the idea of the dictation process. I may try this in my own writing to see if it works for me.  Seems like a good idea but may not be once I have tried to use it. Seems like it would be easier to keep thoughts and ideas together.
