Organized Chaos

After going through some of my classmates blogs, I can relate to a lot of them, which makes me feel much better about my writing process. 
While reading Ashley Borgfield's blog, I actually felt like I was reading my own blog about my writing process.  I haven't been out of school for 11 years, but I have been out of school for 8 years, and I almost feel like I've forgotten everything that I learned.  Ashley and my writing process are very similar, both of us start by writing as much as we can on paper, and then moving to the computer.  I also have trouble coming up with topics to write about, usually it takes me hours before I actually get done.  Like her, I to, have to get away from all distractions.  It seems like the simplest things can get my attention off of my assignments.  She does brainstorming with webbing or mapping, which I honestly, need to start doing.  It would save me hours of time and would have a more balanced essay. 
I had a chance to read Ronnie Illert's blog, and his writing process.  A couple words to use are "wow" and "jealous".  He seems to make writing an art, while listening to blues music.  I can't even fathom the idea of listening to music, while writing.  He's very well organized and after reading his other blogs as well, he seems like a very talented writer.  Ronnie states that his writing is eclectic, I had to look it up to see what eclectic meant.  Eclectic is deriving ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources.  I never was a very talented writer, I just seem to "get by", but he is someone that I could really learn from.  Ashley and Ronnie both use the webbing and mapping, I will use these methods to enhance my writing process and fine-tune my writing skills.
