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 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. 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 atthi’s 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.
Ifa 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 more detail can be added in faster and easier with the use of a computer. While spell check is a big advantage of computer usage, be aware of using the wrong form of words because the computer will not pick up those errors.
Do not get confused with using a computer as taking the easy way out of a writing situation because revision is going to have to be made either way. My last steps in writing anything would be to take my first draft and fix punctuation errors. It is a good idea to have some other people read it and have them put their input on my work. In my papers people critiques are very welcome. After it had been revised by myself and others, I go in on the computer and add changes where needed and do this until I am fully satisfied with my work. Some last tips are to remember to take as much time as needed to write the paper.
Although, do not take it to the point of procrastination. Start it as soon as the new ideas come and go in your mind. Procrastination will greatly reduce the quality of the work. Although procrastinating is one of my bad habits, I find writing to be much easier when I have a long time to work on it. With this technique of writing I have completed this essay. Although some procrastination was involved I did follow the rest of the steps that I made, and it helped me to come up with a appropriate paper.
Next time I will definitely need to start work on it a lot earlier. But I found my technique to be very helpful to me when I do not know where to begin. Use of these steps will follow me for the rest of my life.
