The process

I don't always follow the writing process the way most professors lay it out. More times than not, I won't plan very well. I will list some things that I know about the subject that I'm writing about. After I have listed everything that I know about a subject, I write a draft. After writing the rough draft I will change and rewrite it until I feel that the information is accurate and relevant to the paper. Once I think it is complete, then I will go back and check for problems in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It may not be the best or easiest way to write a paper, but it's the way that I write.

I’m passionate about video games and that’s it. Obviously writing doesn’t factor into my daily life very often, not including texting. If I’m writing it’s only for a class and I’m usually trying harder than necessary to get enough on the page. Normally, I won’t write unless I have to like for class. The only writing I do on a daily basis, if it counts, is texting. If I do write, it’s never long or well written. I’m usually trying to come up with anything that I can put down to lengthen the paper, which can be a problem. Most writing is challenging for me simply because I’m not creative. When there is a set length to a project that’s when I have the most trouble because I can’t think of things to put that are relevant to the subject. The only time I have easily written a paper was when I was able to choose the topic. Writing about the things one is passionate about will obviously result in a longer paper. Writing for me is way more challenging than it should be, but hopefully that will change.
