1) When I give myself time.
When I have a good amount of time to produce my paper or project... whatever it my be. And I also I have found some uncanny motivation, this what usually happens.
- I will stare at the blank screen of death and then play video-games
- I will come back to the blank screen try to write something then play video-games
At this juncture I will usually have something of a thesis or at least a vague idea of what I am writing about. I will then move my laptop next to my television and take turns writing a sentence or two then playing video-games.
What I have now is a goop of paper that doesn't have much coherence due to writing a sentence stopping half way through to try and beat Rainbow Road on 150CC on Mario Kart Wii. So I now I print my paper and do the following.
- Pick out the good stuff from the bad stuff
- Find which examples are worthy of developing further.
- Retailer my thesis to match my examples
- Try and beat Rainbow Road on 150CC
After building on my examples and body paragraphs and tailoring my thesis to make sense, I now have something that resembles a paper. Now I...
- Send my paper to one of my faithful friends who will read my paper for content as well as grammar issues and awaiting there return while I watch The Wire on DVD.
After getting the commented copy I read the comments fix what I think is applicable and do one more final reading. Then I turn in the paper.
This is the preferable way for me to write as it involves a lot of fun mixed in. The second is not as fun...
Scenario: Paper due in 7 hours.
1- Brew Pot of Coffee
2- Stare Longingly at my Television
3- Curse myself
4- write paper and hope its not non-sense.
