My writing process.
Sadly my writing process almost always starts the same way,
a single idea followed by crippling procrastination. At most times I find it
difficult to write continuously on a subject unless it is something that truly interests
me. This difficulty has led me to many last minute scrambles to produce an
acceptable paper that I can turn in later that morning when class starts. Occasionally,
I will get an opportunity to write about something I enjoy and that is when the
ink really starts to flow. At these times writing seems blissful. My writing
process usually starts by selecting a subject and taking the time to think
about many different aspects about it. During this time my observations can
range from the literal, to the completely impractical. After I feel like I have
come to an understanding with my subject I sit down and begin to write whatever
I am planning to write. In regards to where I work best, I like to work
somewhere free of distractions. I am just as comfortable writing outside as I
am writing in my room with headphones in and music playing while a college
party takes place a floor below me (last night and they had fireworks). When I
sit down to work, I try my best to complete the most that I can before I stop
to do something else. While it is always good to stop and come back to
something later, I prefer to try my best to keep my focused during a single
period of time. The process of writing is a constantly evolving event with no
truly clear-cut procedure. What works with one essay does not necessarily help
with another paper or report. While often difficult, writing is always a unique
experience, and I enjoy seeing how my thoughts progress when focused on a
subject.
