Process

This is what I completed in class on Tuesday April 17, 2018. My hope is to have around 15 paragraphs or so to effectively explain all of the points.

Title

My writing is one that is unique to me and me alone. The way that I go about purposing my work so that others may consume the fruits of my writing changes based on the assignment. For this final reflection, I am purposing the audience to be tailored towards that of a few, considering almost everyone that comes to my website will click on the research report, perhaps a lot after being directed from my public youtube video. Be that as it may, this final can still be stocked full of information.

Specifically from my research report, the thing that almost everyone will go to when they visit the website. Since it takes such an iconic shape on the site, it’s natural that it should also be written to a very broad audience, but not take to many liberties as to dissolve the relevance and educational aspect towards the reader. From when I started the essay to where it ended up are two very different things. When I first started writing it, I was trying to write it in the sense that others would know the fundamentals of what I am talking about and be able to just jump right in and start reading. This is quite simply not the case. When going about several reviews and assignments, I realised that the target audience shouldn’t be those that already know about the subject, but for those that are ready and willing to learn something new.

By doing this, I am able to capture a broader audience into my net and catch their attention to my writing. To accomplish this and to continue this fishing metaphor, what I needed to do was widen out the net while making the individual strands thicker. What I mean by this is that I needed to stretch out my writing so a larger audience as a whole could understand it, while I did make a lot of areas simpler, there are still ones that are quite complex in nature as to give more experienced readers a reason to be reading the report. This ultimately resulted in my purpose towards the audience to be one of learning and discovery. Learning an entirely new concept can be exciting to many and also daunting if there are 2 very distinct parts of the aisle to stand on. I helped to make that choice a little easier by showing them that there is a middle ground, from there, they can decide which one fits better for them and their lifestyle. Could it be a nice concept that they might try out once or twice? Or could this be something that they can use in their everyday lifestyle?

Enough on that though. After all, i’ve talked quite a bit about the audience I am writing for, but what about my analysis behind it? To answer this would be quite a journey, so lets start. My thoughts process is one that can be considered unique to many; the way I go about tackling problems is quite different than lots of other people. The way I like to go about things is to go into something headfirst and try to collect as much as possible on the subject. Then, I am able to write something that is completely comprehensive of the material that I just took in. This helps for assignments, since I am able to usually write a final draft as a rough draft, and then go about polishing without adding or taking out too much. I feel that this is a better writing style for the reader as they get more raw thoughts than refined ones, this allows them to potentially feel more emotionally connected to the subject as I am writing my first thoughts on the matter, this could very well be their first thoughts if they were to go through the same research.

To tie this to assignments for this class English 1001, I would say that each one is quite similar, but a bit different. For the annotated bibliography, I was still under the impression that I was writing for a more complex audience, and not writing so ambiguously for another. So I researched articles that require an advanced level of comprehension on Cryptocurrency, specifically Ethereum. I did include some articles about the markets and Bitcoin though, so I think I know what I wanted to write, and what I needed to write for the report.

To actually writing the report itself, I tried as I said previously, to make it simpler for a reader just getting into it while still maintaining complex aspects for more advanced readers.
