Reflection on my writing process.

I usually start writing without a very clear idea of where I'm going to go with it.  I can't remember ever making an outline for a paper when I wasn't required to do so.  Referencing what we talked about previously in class, my thoughts tend to form as I write and not before.  Any "steps" in my writing process are not really in any semi-consistent order...researching, mental outlining, editing, and writing are mixed up so that they often take place at the same time.  The only step that is (probably obviously) consistent is proofreading and editing the final version of a paper before I consider it finished.
