First I pick what I would like to write about and start my research. From there once I have a better understanding of my topic I just start writing and not stop till I have written down everything I can think about the topic. From there I start to add little notes by each area that I found information from in my research. The notes come in handy when I write my draft witch comes next. Once my rough draft is complete I read it to see where I need to do more research to back up my thoughts and correct any spelling. Finally, the final step in my process it to write my final copy. I insure all the information is added that needed for information to back up and my spelling and grammar is correct.

I always like to start my paper in the library so I can check out books and other things that will help me write my paper. And a coffee house like Starbucks is a good environment for me to write my rough draft and final copy because not only does the place help me relax but they sale coffee that energies me to finish what I started.

I make sure to have some healthy snacks and a bottle of water in front me…

    If I was writing a paper that required a specific number of paragraphs or pages I would typically plan my paper using the four square method.

    The writing process is different and unique to all individuals; many people follow the ideal steps of prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing as opposed to others taking shortcuts, skipping steps, and going straight to editing.
