My writing process

Before I begin to write I think of certain aspects like, who is going to read it and why am I writing it in the first place. Once I get that out of the way I think of the topic in which I want to write about, and do a little research first so when I begin to write I actually know what I am talking about.

If I am writing just for the shear joy of writing I won't do much thinking. I'll sit at me computer and have at it. Where as, in a formal paper for school, I will do some research just to have a vague conception of what it is I am writing about and what effect if any, it will have on the audience. Once all that is done and the writing has only just begun, I will open my paper with the opening paragraph telling the reader what they will be reading. The spelling of the first draft is never the best because I will write in a fast effective way to get all the work done quickly. I will use acronyms, abbreviations, and some less conventional methods that we use when talking to friends online or through a text message just to save time. Once the entire paper is written I will go back through it all and correct all of the grammar and spelling mistakes I can find, reading through the paper several times forwards and back. That however is only the draft. Once I am sure all the mistakes I can find have been corrected I will read through my research again to make sure there is nothing more I wish to add that may help deliver my point easier.

All this adds up to the draft to send to the teacher to read through and mark any mistakes I may have missed as well as ideas that may help my paper even more.
