My personal writing process
I don’t really have a specific writing process. I usually have a pretty good idea of what I’m writing about so ill just gather the thoughts in my head . Ill sit down and start writing. Ill always start out with the introduction and get the main jist of what im trying to say. I’ll usually write a few sentences or a paragraph and re read what I wrote to make sure its flowing. Or if I read over it will remind me of something else I want to put. On bigger papers like research papers or longer things I have to write I might make a short list of what I wanna say. Nothing big just little reminders. On papers that are opinion pieces or maybe a persuasive essay I tend to not make any notes. I think that just starting a piece of writing without any outline gives you more freedom to express your opinions that your feeling as your writing. I mean you can always go back and fix it!

As long as you're willing to "go back and fix" things, writing sans outline can be an effective strategy. Reader-friendly organization doesn't come easily, though, especially with longer papers.
