My writing process.

I have never really thought about my writing process until now. Like many others I am a procrastinator. I'm not a very strong writer and I tend to over think even the simplest assignment. When I begin to write I will look over the assignment and make sure I understand the assignment. Typically when I write a paper I tend to free write. When I sit and try to prewrite I tend to over think the assignment and end up spending hours just staring at a flashing line on word. After I complete my free writing I will go back through and read and reread what I wrote. Then I will choose what I want to keep and I will delete the rest. After this process I will work to complete my paper and get the final draft ready to submit.

So my process starts with looking over and understanding the assignment. I will then free write and read and reread my free writing before I revise and complete my final draft. For me personally the biggest challenge to writing a paper or any writing project is getting started. I think we all want a catchy title and intro.Over the last couple years I have learned the title is not the most important part of the paper. I have also learned it is okay if the title isn't catchy as long as your paper is interesting and tells a story.
