Writing a piece about yourself can be challenging because you don’t want to keep repeating yourself during your writing. In order for me to write good and have the reader to understand what I’m talking about has to make sense to me and to also make sense to them. When I’m writing I need a peaceful environment, a system that I can follow to understand better or to even keep me on track about what I’m saying. And to go back and see how my process of the writing piece is working for me.
The first thing before I start writing I find the quiet place in my home so I won’t get thrown off of what I’m trying to talk about. Sometimes when I’m at home and trying to do some homework I have a lot of distractions, either my dog is barking at everyone or anything he sees outside, or the TV is up really loud or my parents are on the phone talking really loud. And any of these types of distractions can really make me lose focus so quick.
A lot of people said when they write they either like a cold room or a hot room. But for me I prefer to be in a warm room because it will keep me awake and alert to what I need to be doing. Cold environments can make people become tired because that’s how they like to sleep and they will end up falling asleep during the time of the work.
The worst thing to do is laying down in your bed trying to write, because you won’t be up for a long time. Your body is going to start to shut down and you’re going to go to sleep. I prefer to be sitting down and writing on a table because I won’t be as tired as I would be by laying down.
While I’m in the process of writing I like to have something to eat like some chips and juice. It’s better for me to have everything I need when I first start so I don’t have to keep getting up and wasting time.
The process I do before I start typing the paper is to get as much information to put into my work. I also try and put examples in my paper to see if someone could relate to some of the same situations and process as I follow. My process works for me because then I won’t have to re-start over because I did something wrong. Once I finish with everything I like to ask someone to read it to see what they think about my paper, to see if I might need to add something or take something away from it.
Once everything is finished then I will go over it and re-read it to make sure I didn’t spell anything wrong. To me my writing process over the past few years has come a long way. Because I didn’t use to know how to write a proper paper the right way. Or to really go into detail about the work where people can relate to when they are reading it. Writing is something that I like to do because its fun and I have a lot to say something about when the writing topic is good.
