Reflection
Whenever I have to write, I really do not follow any type of process. I write as free and as quickly as I can and I try to just let my ideas flow. It might not always make sense at first but as long as I understand it, I can make something out of it. I've never really been the type of writer who makes a rough draft, then edits it, then rights a new less-rough draft, then edits it again, then writes a final copy. I'm more of the go with the flow writer. I guess you could consider all of my ideas jotted down on paper, not in complete order a rough draft but former teachers have told me that it doesn't count as one. I feel like I get writers block a lot less whenever I do the writing system my way, so I can get all my ideas out at once even if it isn't in the best order possible for my work, I'll eventually put it in an order that makes sense but for that point in time, that is what I use to get my writings started.

It's OK to adopt your own distinct process, Chrissy - there are countless different pathways to a good paper. You just have to take care to organize your free-flowing ideas so that they make sense to a READER other than yourself
