How I Write

Much like the way I function in everyday life, I write with very little preperation and in long but sporadic bursts. The latter idiosyncrasy isn't really a problem but I really need to work on the planning stage of my writing. As far as my writing enviroment, I'm not too picky; however, it's a much slower process if I'm doing it with others (I like to joke around alot).

Since my writing is fairly stream of consciousness in its early stages I get alot out of revision. I often find sentences that are sophisticated in nature but constructed like a first grader, and it's fun to refine them.

BUT, the underlying problem in my writing habits is my stubborn and picky attitude in the pre-writing process. I'll gather my ideas for a week, be extremely excited to begin writing a story, but within a single night I can decide that the idea is stupid and scrap the entire thing. This can happen several times in a single month. It's bad practice, I know, but I embrace it somewhat as it ensures I'm happy with what I write.

THE END.
