Reflection Paper On My Writing Process
Reflective Memo
Description of my Writing Process
In my writing process, pre writing was my initial step where I had to find the
narrative to write. I had numerous stories in my mind, but I had to get the best, which
draws inspiration to me, and the one that could teach valuable lessons to my audience.
So, I had to refer from that childhood memory regarding the most significant
