what i do...
the first major step i take in writing is PROCRASTINATE as long as possible. then when i write all i do is write whatever comes to my mind right when it comes. i usually don't think about what i have said once it is written. kind of like it gets set in stone. i have never edited a paper before. i avoided writing 100% in high school. just like you said in class if someone doesn't care about what they are writing they just put any old crap down and say its fine i don't care anyway. so i really just put anything down. if i did care about what i was writing i would put down all my thoughts and then analyze them as i put them down and slightly edit to get my point across. though i have not truly developed a writing process yet i am sure i will as i progress farther in this class. though i know i will never pursue writing as a career or even a hobby i do hope to learn to find a way to write that is easy for me.

Well...you certainly are honest about your indifference towards writing. Even if you don't pursue writing itself as a career or hobby, becoming a more effective written communicator is valuable for almost everyone. You may never write another academic essay after KSU, but you will probably be composing e-mails, memos, etc. to bosses and co-workers, writing cover letters for jobs, etc. Writing can be a tool to get things done...even if we don't care about it very much.
