Writing process

Last month I wrote about my writing progress by mistake.  Here is some information on my writing PROCESS. 

I try to keep the process of writing my papers simple, so content is legit and easy to read.  I do not necessarily make a complete outline, but I do write main points with supporting details on a separate piece of paper.  From there I focus on what the criteria is asking and the rules for the assignment of paper. If I am in my office or at home I will sometimes read my work by reading it out loud and standing up.  I have no idea why reading while standing up helps generate ideas, but it works for me???  I try to make sure my papers are done two days before the due date.  This can be difficult, but I truly hate procrastinating.  I often think about parts of my paper that I am not happy with and try to allow time to go back and revise.  New thoughts usually pop up when I am laying in bed, so I keep a pencil and note pad by my night stand just in case.  If possible, I try to get my papers peer reviewed, but my schedule does not always allow.  One strategy that has also helped is by stating what the paper will be arguing within the paper, not letting the reader guess. By stating specifically what I am tryng to accomplish helps generate supporting details.

Recently I have started writing for fun,  and I have no rules.   I like the challenge of creating feelings, sights and sounds. I just type or write and try to make my wording accurate and realistic.
