Reflection on my Writing Process

Whenever I have to write something I always make sure I know what type of paper it is. For example whether it be a persuasive paper, research, proposal, etc.... I usually always check to see if preliminary research needs to be completed before writing the paper successfully. If there is any research that needs to be completed I usually try and get that done in reasonable time to allow me time to set up my paper and brainstorm on how to go about writing it. I have had problems starting a paper because I don't know what to write first, but over time I have come to realize I just put down for my introduction what comes to mind, because I feel that if you have a justified thesis, body paragraphs, and most importantly a conclusion, you can in fact change the introduction to correlate with the paper. Before typing an actual paper and after I have completed the research I always make sure I know what I will cite and I cite it before I type the paper so I don't forget to put correct citations in, to prevent plagiarism.
