Writing an essay is time-consuming because it requires commitment and dedication to achieve great results. The essay forms a certain sense of the structure and format of the work, thereby organizing the writing style as a whole. I have yet to encounter specific types of essays in my practice. The first extended narrative essay was a new stage in writing development and an awareness of my style or way of preparing my work.
Writing the first extended narrative essay was a pretty complicated process, but it was an exciting experience. My difficulties were related to the fact that it took me a long time to figure out how to organize my essay better and compose it in a way that made my point clear. I took several writing tips and remembered how I started writing letters at an early age. Surprisingly, my childhood memories helped me start writing work: I became less afraid of a piece of paper and was able to refresh my head to state ideas. I needed help quickly memorizing information from sources and incorporating it into the text. MLA citations required page analysis, and I took the time to get a good result.
The essay process was quite long: it took me time to coexist with a new format and way of conveying thought. However, the calmness with which I started the work influenced the whole process. Coming to the logical conclusion and rereading the essay, I organized it well for the first time, although I have room for improvement. I tried to write during the daytime when I had enough energy and free time to work. There were a few distractions, but they did not bother me much, and I worked in a comfortable environment. Hurston’s essay made me think I should reconsider the inclusion of personal experiences in my work. So, I want to try working outdoors – it disposes of working through personal experiences and incorporating them into assignments.
Having summarized my practice of writing an extended essay, I drew the following conclusions and made a plan for the future. First, I have strengths in organization and directness at work. Second, I need more practice in describing specific experiences, so I need more practice in reflection. Finally, I enjoyed working on the essay: I overcame challenges and discovered new work styles, and now I want to develop further.
