journal 1

My person writing style is very personal. I do the best writing when it’s a paper where I can express my views and ideas in the 1st person. I usually really struggle to write a research paper because I have to keep everything so third person, and make sure not to take anyone else’s words.
When I first sit down to write a paper, I don’t really have a certain way that I plan my thoughts or what I’m going to write about. All those spider webs, and oddly shaped planning techniques that we learned in grade school never really worked for me. I really just liked to free write and see if I like what I end up with. After I am done writing, I like to read over my work several times. Then I usually decided if I’m going to add to certain paragraphs or remove some things that I find unimportant. Then I rewrite until I’m happy with the final product. Sometimes I’ll rewrite something 3 times just to be one hundred percent happy when I’m done. Then I turn in my paper, cross my fingers, and pray for a semi decent grade.
