Revising My Writing Process

In this blog post I will refer back to blop posts 1.10 and 1.12 to reflect on my writing process and time management approach. I will also speculate on how the type of writer I am now will affect my writing in the future.

In blog 1.10 I wrote that I was a heavy reviser.

I was not sure if that style was the most effective style for me, but after going through this course, I believe that heavy revising suits me well. When I approach a writing assignment, I will have an idea of the idea I want to convey, but it's very difficult for me to have the foresight to see exactly how I get there. 

To fix this problem, I simply begin writing. Through the process of writing the first few sections of the paper, I figure out the specifics of what information I want to include and how I want to present it in my writing.

In blog 1.12 I wrote that procrastination has always been a problem for me.

Going through this course, procrastination was still a large issue for me. However, I don't think this is all bad. When given less time to complete my work, I tend to focus much better and get my work done effectively. As I progress in my academic career, I will likely need to give myself more time for assignments. However, since this first semester was relatively easy, procrastination was not as large of an issue.

Hopefully, as I go through college and go out into the real world, I will become a more responsible writer and take my time. I foresee becoming a responsible writer if my schedule becomes more busy in the future, which it almost certainly will.
