My Writing Process

The way I usually begin writing research papers or speeches when I am in a communications class is by first narrowing down topics. I brainstorm about topics that I am interested in and things that are important to me because I usually have more fun writing about something that is relevant to me or something that I personally enjoy. Once I have narrowed down my topics, usually I narrow it down to two or three topics, I then choose the one that I think I will enjoy writing about more. I always try to get assignments completed ahead of deadlines so I can make sure that I have what I need and that I will have plenty of time to revise as much as needed. I try my best not to procrastinate when writing because it is not my best subject.
Once I have chosen my topic I then begin to research the topic and find as many credible sources as I can so I can have enough information to develop a good research paper. Once I have my sources I start to organize my information and then I begin my first rough draft. I usually go through two or three drafts before a final paper. I have some of my reliable friends read my paper so I can catch any mistakes before turning it in. I am also very picky about what I turn in, I am the kind of person that likes things to be as close to perfection as I can get. I read through my paper several times and I always make sure I have all of my citations included and that everything makes sense and reads well. That pretty much summarizes what I do when I write. Sorry if this was really boring to read!
