My Writing Process
When I'm writing a paper, I usually just get a general idea of what I want my point to be or where I want to go with the prompt that is given and "run with it". I've never been much of an outline type person. I always hated using note cards and all that junk. I like typing a few paragraphs and then go back and reading what I have written. I usually always have something I need to add or something I need to change when I go back and read through it again. I like having a "rough" idea written and then go back and edit. I think this is cause I am constantly coming up with ideas for my paper and coming up with ways to change and make my paper "better" as I am in the process of writing. After I'm done and have written the paper I go back again and change some things and add some ideas. I don't think this is the best way for me to write a paper and I am sure there are much better ways to type a paper, but it is what I am used to as of right now and this writing process works best for me.

So much of writing is in the revision, so how effective your process is really depends on if/how you revise.
