My process starts with me focusing on a prompt whether it’s given to me or I have to create one myself. Having a prompt allows me to stay on topic and hopefully have a layout. The intro and thesis and intro are the hardest part of sitting down and writing for me. I try to have some sort of organization when I transition in my paragraphs. My body of the paper

I like to write during early mornings or in the evening when it is quiet. My reading table is facing towards the window so when fresh air is in my room, fresh ideas generate inside me as well. I make sure to have some healthy snacks and a bottle of water in front me…
