Exercise 2E
When I get a writing assignment I read over what its asking of me and immediatley decided what novel and what topic I want to write about. This way any thoughts I have while I'm reading or prior to my beginning to write I can focus my thoughts. Before I start to write the paper, I write out what I want my main topics to be and what kinds of details go along with them. I think of quotes that I want to use from my book and mark those pages. When I finally sit down in front of my computer its usually a week or two weeks before the assignment is actually due. I like to get my writing done early so I don't have to worry about it later on. I turn on Itunes and pick out some music I want to let play on low while I start writing. For the next two hours I pounded out my paper, without speaking to anyone. I extremely hate when people interrupt me when I'm writing because it completely throws of my train of thought. I write my introduction and thesis first and then continue through out the paper. When I get done with my paper I always end up rearranging my paragraphs, thesis, and introduction. Once my paper is complete I print it out and hand it to a friend to read because I can't reread my paper without losing my mind from having spent the past two hours doing nothing but working on it. Once I get back their critiques, I go back make changes, print off another copy have him go over it again, repeat the process of making changes to my paper. Then I print out another copy and give it to a different friend and have them write down their ideas. Once this is done, I turn the paper in. The end.
