Writing Process

When it comes to writing, I usually jump right into it without planning, or outlining what I want to write. I usually just let my ideas flow freely and then depending on what type of paper it is, I take various steps to edit and then re-edit in order to make it cohesive. With research papers, I obviously have to research information, but if I have some knowledge of the subject before researching, I try to make sure I incorporate those thoughts without any other works to sway my opinions in a different direction. I do admit, my opinions about certain topics do change after researching, which I find irritating. I feel my papers are genuine to who I am. It's to make all writing my own. Overall, I work quickly without planning, usually a few days before the assignment is due, with a ton of self-editing.
