A Writing Process
A process is a key to better writing, and any writing needs method. My way of writing is probably unconventional than most people, I usually think about what I will write about and plan, then start the process of writing the essay right before the due date. It is not the best strategy, but that works for me the best. A writing process differs from a person to another, some like to start early and finish first and some like to wait till they have their theses or their title so they can write something from it, some other writing first then they will have their title and theses. The method is that I plan what I will write about first, then think about what to talk about in the opening paragraph, or I might just write without a plan, hoping that the words will flow. Sometimes, I really find it difficult to come up with words to type on a piece of paper, and other times the words just type themselves.

My initial task is picking a topic unless it is given. After determining a topic, I then generate a thesis statement, which should not only support the topic but prepare the reader for the contents of the essay. I then begin my next step which is usually brainstorming and doing research to expand my knowledge on the subject given or chosen topic. When I brainstorm, I get a piece of paper and pen to write down any ideas that come to mind. I then develop the jumbled mass of thoughts into a list of more complete ideas and points that I wish to address. My rough drafts are usually revised a couple of times, I find it frustrating when writing and not fixing mistakes. The last part of the prewriting stage for me is to outline. Outlining helps me to structure the paper and determine how I want all of my information to lay out. My outline will show where and what main points I want to include in each of my paragraphs.
