What was your writing process like when you produced the first draft? How did you come up with ideas? How did you write? How long did it take? What was easy/what was difficult? My writing process was after practice or class i would be in the library thinking about what to write so i wouldnt be distracted. I came up with the chicken becusse my dorm mate at my chicken. It took me a few days to write the essay. It was easy to start the essay but it was hard to figure out the MLA format 

• What was the revision process like? What feedback did you respond to when you made changes? (Be specific about what the feedback said and how you made changes to respond to the comments.) What feedback, if any, did you choose to ignore? Why? I Took back all my feedback and used it becuase it was my first collage essay and i didnt know what i was doing with the MLA formate i took all the feedback about the MLA format and fixed my essay.
