Writing this essay I found that by looking back through this semester’s work brought me to a much better understanding of myself.  Through the introspection and analysis of past developments while writing essays and the new understanding of my logical process as an approach to writing I was able to draw out the patterns of my development and see what I was as a writer.   My use of logical processes in analyzing initial material, my mental scaffolding I create for writing, and pattern recognition are what make my writing distinct, and their acknowledgement make my writing good.  Unlike previous essays I found this one much easier to write, instead of struggling to get the proverbial ball rolling I had the great starting point of my previous work.  Likewise, the exercises and writing that lead up to this essay had already formed a framework for the writing in my mind.  What I found to be genuinely difficult about writing this essay was quite different from the previously encountered problems of writing, many of which I discussed overcoming in my essay, it was caused more by trying to connect my own ideas with one another into a single cohesive and fluid argument than the external regulations of my previous difficulties.  While the same strategies and characteristics of logical writing I discussed provided some alleviation to the problem the real solution to the issue came in the rather simple practice of editing by reading aloud.  This tactic may be rudimentary, but it allowed me to see the patterns between the issues I was discussing and create a natural flow from one idea to the next, something that I had struggled with earlier in the semester and year.
