My steps of writing

My writing process usually consists of thinking of what I want to write down. After that I write my paper and read through it one time. It's a very simple process mainly because I'm in a hurry to get it finished. I do, however, feel like a few of these tasks are helpful. Gathering data is definitely important. How else are you going to know what to write about if you don't have information on that subject. It will also help to critically read the information your gathering. Asking questions about what your reading might help you create new ideas. If you still feel like you don't have many ideas, start brain storming. For me this would consist of opening Microsoft Word and typing all of my ideas out without worrying about any periods or sentence correction. Once I've done that, I can pick each idea out and put them into the right category. For someone else this might be clustering or branching. Also Revision and editing is important in writing your paper.
