Procrastination
My writing process can be best described as a just-write procrastinator (if it a new term, I am trade marking it). If an assignment is due, I tend not to write anything until the last minute, and then I begin to just write as much as possible.

It just means that I have to turn something negative into a positive and just run with it, until my just-write method does not work
