What is my writing process? Well, usually waiting til the last minute. You know, the night before kind of thing. I am trying to change that, however. There are just too many points for the papers in my comp class, and I want a very good grade. I am trying to do a little research here and there when I am able.
I usually like to do research, but I am not crazy about our library, and how the folders will only save your articles or information for that particular session. I wish the stuff could be saved in like, favorites. I have saved some stuff to my desktop and documents, but sometimes that always does not work.
Then there is the reference page! Yuck. If we did not have to use APA format, I would be like, yeah, this is pretty darn easy. But, alas, we have to..........
Anyway, back to my writing process. I do not usually use outlines. But the informal outline works good for me to ask myself questions to get over writer's block. Also, freewriting gets me going. It works like a kick starter for me.
Since we have to do a rough draft, I guess I will. Usually I just write the whole paper at once. Hasn't worked out too badly. I get great grades........

Hey Kelly, if you just write like you usually do and turn it in to the Writing Center, they will give you some feedback. I used to write that way too, until I took Comp I, and I find it much easier know to lay it all out in the outline. Whatever works, right? :) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHey Kelly! I wrote my entire paper out too. When I was in high school we were told to memorize MLA format. So my brain automatically is trained to cite that way. I have to keep refering to our book to make sure my APA is right. Good luck with your paper. I'm sure you will do great. I get good grades too. It's worth the work!
