MYWRITINGPROCESS

When I write I typically do the same type of style every time with minimal changes here and there. My writing process isn't as independent as I would like it to be. I went to a high school where every teacher had their own individual standards but generally we had to have an outline, rough draft, and final copy when we turned in a paper. Those were the standards that we had to follow. My process starts with basic brainstorming. I think it is important to find a topic that I will give me not only enough substance to fill the paper with, but also something that will be inspiring and not boring to write about. I used to pick random topics but found that my writing would be very flat because I have no interest in what I am writing about. After I find the topic that I am used for my paper, I begin to do research. I like to read a lot of background information on my topic so I have more knowledge about what I am going to spend the next two months writing about. After that, I gather all of my research and start my outline. I sometimes do multiple outlines to find the best way that the paper will flow. After, I write my rough draft that is typically edited by a classmate or two. Once I make my final corrections, I type my final copy and that is that.
