Reflection
When I am writing a paper I usually use the same system everytime, unless the teacher has instructed us to do otherwise. To me, making a list or brainstorming ideas is just a waste of time. It really just depends on what type of paper im writing to determine how my actual process goes. If it is a subject that I didn't know anything about to begin with I would research the topic and maybe write down main points. If it's a review of a book or movie I usually make a rough draft so I can have something to refrence in case I have forgotten the main points of the book. My favorite type of writing is just free writing where I can make up a story or tell a true story. If this is the case, I just write without any type of pre-thought or writing. I enjoy this the most because there are no restrictions or rules to it I dont have to make sure to include anything specific, having to do that usually distracts my writing because I'm too focused on adding that thing in. Also it's the most entertaining type of writing, I hate research papers that when I'm done I don't even want to read it. I also enjoy this type of writing because honestly writing is not my favorite thing and these papers are the one's I get done with the fatest. In conclusion I would say I have many different writing styles, but my favorite is to just sit down and type it then edit it after I am completely done.

Rules and restrictions are annoying, but most writing we do occurs within particular genres with established parameters - so it behooves us to be able to write within those parameters.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I love freewriting as well : )
