Writing Process

Writing can be a very difficult process for those who do not know how to go about constructing

an work of writing. I have my own ideas on how I think the writing process should be done.

Time and good ideas will make for a good paper because when I begin writing a paper or an

essay I take a day to think of all the possibilities to write about. If I am lucky if I have the chance

to come up with my own ideas rather than have them given to me, but if that is not the case then I

follow my simple steps to get through with my work .

To start off, I remember that it may take awhile until I am sure on what I am going to

write about for the topic. It is all right to change the subject many times if I absolutely have to.

Absolutely do not start out writing the paper with the opening or ending paragraph. It is best to

do the end and beginning paragraphs once I have finished completing and editing the entire

paper.

First of all I sit down where I can really concentrate on my topic, and I make outlines. I

start off with numbers and label them what the topic of the paragraph is going to be about. After I

finish figuring out what each paragraph will be about, I then go in subdivisions on the details that

will be included in each specific paragraph. This will help to avoid getting off of the subject and

the paper will be in a good order.

After finishing the outline, I go on to start writing down ideas that are at the top of my

head about the specific paragraph topic. It is not necessary to have them in any specific order at

this time. Once some of my thoughts have been gathered and written down, I organize them into

specific sections so I can start putting my paper into an order like my outline.

At this point if I come to realize that the paper is not going to go anywhere, I put it aside

for a night and take time to think about new ideas, but if I feel my paper is ready for the first draft

I will take an hour or two to sit down at the computer or in a quiet area to begin writing more. If

a pencil and a pad of paper are preferred rather than a computer to construct first drafts, use that

instead because it will work too. It depends on peoples own preferences. I like to use computers

because I can type faster than writing free hand. It is also very easy to copy and paste words or

complete sentences around, rather than having to write them down over and over again. So much
