My persononal writing process

Good afternoon everyone,

For me writing is a process I take very seriously because I love to write and write well. I always start by doing a free write or brainstorming. This gets my mind working and thinking on what I want to write. I always pick a topic that I feel strongly about. For my communications class I am writing about child abuse. For me child abuse hits very close to home. When I was younger my father used to abuse me both physically and mentally. I also like to include facts when I am doing my brainstorming. After I finish my brainstorming I then take the ideas I like the most and research them more closely. Then I start to draft my first copy of my paper and I don't worry about spelling and grammar until I am done writing, then I will do my spell check. After my draft is done I start my editing process. I love to get feedback on my writing to know if I made mistakes that I missed while I was correcting my paper. I use the writing process as my guide and I go at my own pace. I like to do things at my own pace so I don't get too far ahead of myself. I think patience is the key to writing and if you patience you will go far. Just remember to keep a positive attitude while writing and you will go far.
