Writing Process

This blog will be in regards to my literary journalism piece about Bound Brook and Hurricane Floyd..

I found my focus by going back into my past and finding something that seemed worthy to report on. Clustering helped me a lot with this.

I had written several pieces in a journal, which helped me to organize. In reality, I just used some snippets as sketches. But I really found my starting point when I actually visited the new Dunkin Donuts.

From here I just wrote using various sources to compile my piece. I reflected on certain parts of the visit I made one week after the storm to help a friend's relative.

I new what evidence I wanted to use but didn't know where to go with it. I finally found a the point after I read through my first draft. I had to read and edit before I knew what I wanted to say.
