Studies show that our mind organizes and create thoughts while we sleep; proofreading before falling asleep, helps process new thoughts and helps us to retain the material better. According to Richard Marius his study is based on the idea that in writing, there is a process that we must go through, this includes writing multiple drafts before producing the final draft. Based off his writing process procedure, Marius and I have complete different approaches, in our writing style. I’m more focused on one thought; while Marius believes that keeping an open mind helps produced new thoughts that would not have occurred from the beginning. To illustrate the difference between Marius and my writing, I’m going to compare my writing assignment for my Math 110 to his process of writing. Starting this assignment, I constructed one rough draft and checked for any errors. Once my professor asked for our rough drafts; the feedback I received was that I needed to add a cover page, and then my essay would be finished. My process of writing for this assignment consisted of sitting on the computer for hours until I finished the essay.

The idea on this paper for math 110 was to write about a famous mathematician and from the start I was able to go with the flow. For the single thought, I wrote about his famous discoveries about how he contributed to our current mathematical system. On the contrary, Marius believes that we as writers have an idea and we don’t always stick to it. He states, “Writers often start an essay with one topic in mind only to discover that another pushes the first one aside as they work” (Marius,91). When I began writing my paper I stuck to the information that I’d previously researched, so I didn’t change my initial thought. I added information but since it’s a research paper it was not considered changing my thoughts, since its data that I collected through the
