My Usual Writing Process

When it comes to my writing process, I had to sit back and think for a while about how I start writing.  I try to seclude myself from noise because I am easily distracted.  I can't watch a movie or a television show, because even though I'll get the writing done, it will just take me more hours than intended.

I would call it borderline writers block because I don't necessarily write topics down and determine which ones to choose from.  I like to sit back and literally brainstorm.  I think about what would interest others and hopefully, it's something I like to write about.  It's all a learning process for me.  I have my wife sit down and read what I wrote, make some suggestions, and then do a final draft.   It's always nice to have a second set of eyes looking at my own work.  

I'll be the first one to admit that my writing process is not the best.  As this class goes on, I plan on really focusing on changing my whole process of writing.  I feel like if I get a "game plan" and start with a topic, branch off from there, I'd be a more efficient writer.  I can tell after writing this blog post that it would save me time, if I had an idea of what, or how, I was going to write papers.
