A common goal for many writers is to connect with their audience. In my previous essay for this course, my goal was to invite the reader into the magical world of Disney. Unfortunately, due to my unpreparedness, the invitation to the reader was lost. I was also unable to place myself in the reader's point of view, making me ineffective at connecting with the audience. For an essay to be effective in conveying a message to the reader, it is essential to always draw up an organized outline and put the author in the same point of view as the reader to avoid any confusion. Organization is an orderly manner; where the author uses structure or a formulaic pattern to facilitate the arduous task of preparing a well-written essay. Some examples of organization in the prewriting process are outlines, brainstorming, journaling, webping, and clustering. As a writers' organization it has always been my greatest struggle to overcome literary adversity. For example, when I wrote my previous essay, my approach was to write the essay without using any form of organization. Instead, I chose to quickly write a rough draft of the article and then go back and make any corrections I found after proofreading. This nonsensical approach ultimately resulted in little to no organization and rendered my article ineffective in communicating my message to the public. An example that brought the reader to the division of my essay was when I wrote the description of the key lime pie I ordered at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant, "...just like a key lime pie should be but with a hint of something 'other" . it was pointed out that while discussing the lime pie at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant, I lacked development and clarity of my idea, which made it difficult for the reader... middle of the paper... clean cut message to my reader. Now I've come up with a plan to combat my inability to fit into the reader's point of view; I now plan to take a much more rigorous approach to proofreading. Not only will I read my article objectively, but I will also reread it multiple times to effectively communicate my message to the reader. This self-analysis of myself as a writer was not only informative but also prescriptive in offering a workable solution to overcome my literary difficulties. follies. My ultimate goal as a writer is to effectively convey my message to my audience. To be able to achieve my goal, I must develop an organized outline for prewriting and then I must objectively and rigorously proofread my essay from my reader's perspective. As a Sage once said, the pen is mightier than the sword, but without support or organization the pen will surely fall.
