Fanboys are not always Trekkies

1) What are FANBOYS?

-Fanboys are overly excitable fans of usually niche series (Star Trek comes to mind) with  tendency to squee whenever someone of authority concerning the subject.....

Lololol.

FANBOYS - For instance, (can't remember), But, Otherwise, Yet, (can't remember.)

(Sadly, if one were to ask me the plot of any near random science fiction show, that I could totally be Fanboy-ish about.)

2) What are the three steps of the writing process?

  1) First one prewrites, a process that includes brainstorming original ideas and then gathering general supporting ideas.
  2) Next one simply writes. This is the first attempt at putting those previous ideas in a coherent and cohesive pattern.
  3) Finally you have revision, a process in which you edit your work to achieve a smooth flow from point to point, clear up mechanical mistakes, and tighten up loose ends in your presentation.

3) Name and describe each of the different types of paragraphs/essays we have discussed.

 1) Process writing is the act of writing about a process. This is normally presented as a "how-to" essay or else outlays specific and factual knowledge about a subject.
 2) Narratives tell a story, usually to the end of relating either a human experience or a lesson/moral of some sort.
 3) Descriptive writing is exactly as it reads: A piece that describes something. While one generally focuses on the typical five senses, it can also be used to describe the emotions of an event. These essays focus on painting a picture of something specific.

4) Which essay is your favorite and why?

 - I enjoy narratives and description writings the most. I like the idea of telling a story (isn't all of life a story?) and having it reach to others and THEIR experiences. A good narrative includes lots of description so the two are entwined. Journal writing is good practice for these two. Not only do you have to rely the events and stories of your life, but you also have to describe why it is significant to you. You have to describe why it is significant to OTHERS. It requires spinning the parts of your life into interesting and attention getting prompts. And thus the story is always changing, always finding new ways to be described, always finding itself with new stories to tell.
