Writing Process

My writing process changes according to the material I am writing. If I am writing something research based or something presentational, I start out with looking through books or web pages, and formulate a really loose outline. If it is creative writing, or fiction, I tend to either jump into it or let ideas build up and play out in my mind. The part of the process I tend to neglect the most is the revision and editing part of writing. I can free-write and usually it tends to be at least decent, and has little to no grammatical or spelling errors. However, I don’t disregard this part because of time or apathy—I usually struggle with going back in and making it something better. The end result seems as if it was ‘patched together’ in a sense. I am not sure if not putting too much emphasis on revision works for me, or if I simply do not know how to do it adequately.
