My writing process differs from my partner in just a few
ways, but in many ways they are similar.
My writing process is different because I usually do not take the time
to brainstorm ideas unlike Sarah. I go right into the outline if I even make
one. Sarah takes the time to brainstorm ideas and then take those ideas to form
a good outline of her ideas to make different paragraphs that flow and go together
well. Also, Sarah writes better with pen and paper and then types it looking
for grammar and spelling errors while I like to write by typing on the computer
and waiting for the little squiggly line to appear underneath within seconds.
For me it is more of a preference than anything, I do not see a difference in
my writing whether it is typed or written first. Pretty much everything else is
very similar for both of us. I believe
it is this way because we both absolutely hate writing. When it comes to writing we both have to be
in the mood. If we are not in the right mood, nothing will get done. This is part of the reason why we
procrastinate and wait until the last minute to write and finish the
paper. I know sometimes right when the
work is assigned, I will start but then put it off until two nights before it
is due. Sarah only spends an hour on
editing her paper which at times can be more than I do because I wait until the
last minute to where I hardly have enough time to read over my paper before I turn
it in. During the editing process, Sarah looks to change words and find better
fits to help be more descriptive and have different word choice. I hardly ever
go back through and look for that unless the teacher specifically states to
look for that when editing. I think
every ones writing process has similarities and differences depending on how
much they enjoy writing as well as their abilities with writing.
