Writing Process

Before I can begin to write anything I must first make sure that my mind is focused solely on what I'm doing. Any tiny distraction will catch my attention and veer me off course very quickly. Once I begin writing, I find myself pausing before each sentence is written. I repeat what I want to say over and over in my head until I get a complete sentence that I am satisfied with. I also read what I have written multiple times. Each time I go back over my work, I find something wrong and correct it or rearrange if needed. I have never liked doing outlines, so free writing is my most used tactic. I find it much easier to just write or type whatever I'm feeling at that specific moment. Writing has never been my strong point, and I usually have a hard time writing for school or anything.

    You're not alone here - a lot of writers get distracted VERY easily. Funny how we all turn ADHD when a paper is due...

    Hopefully this class will help you to write a bit better, Greg. At the very least, you'll be writing a lot more often.
