Maps have been used for the past thousand years. These maps come in all different shapes and sizes, but they all have the same purpose. When a person has a destination that they do not know how to get to, they use a map. A map allows a person to find the right path to take to find their destination.

       At the beginning of my writing process, I have a hard to knowing how I want to get my message across. Even if I know exactly what message I want to get across to my readers, I still have a hard time knowing the steps I want to take.

   Reading a map isn’t always as easy as just looking at the map. In some circumstances, a person is required to use different tools, such as a magnify glass or compass. These tools help a person find the path to their destination.

During my writing process, I use many different tools to make the process easier. Using tools during my writing process helps me create the structure of my paper. One tool that I use is called a Child’s Draft. This ver rough draft allows me start my paper and get all my thoughts on paper. Other tools I use are learning modules that are put online by Professor Mary. These learning modules help me use correct grammar  during my writing. 

    Overall, maps are used by people to find the path to their destination. As you can see in this map, the path is not always straight and obvious. Sometimes, a person is required to take a path that may take a little longer than a direct path.

The goal of my writing process is to find a way to pass my message on to the readers. It takes multiple attempts and patience to find the right path to use in my writing. In some cases, the path I decide to take may take a long time, but it is worth it in the end.
