Well I wouldn't consider myself as much of a writer, I'm more of a thinker. I spend most of my time brainstorming for days and days until maybe one or two days before the deadline. The longer I spend thinking, the more I feel like my ideas are mature and I can write in a more flowing manner. I tend to form ideas, sentences, and paragraphs in my mind, rather than on paper or on a screen. Kind of like 'marinading' my mind with ideas until, finally, I stumble upon a great starting point and I build on it. Finally I am ready to turn thought into text. Usually, I start typing and I don't stop until I am completely done, then I read and re-read my composition, edit, and revise. My strength when it comes to writing, is that I don't have trouble with the fluidity of my sentences, they usually come out pretty good the first time. I hate to brag but this blog belongs to the Polk Elementary 5th grade Spelling Bee 1st place runner-up, so grammar is no challenge for me. Rough drafts are always highly encouraged in school and sometimes for a grade, but rough drafts are not really my thing. I believe that with today's technology all you need is one Word document, and that can be edited and revised to make a single and final copy of an essay. Another obstacle for me when it comes to writing is probably the very last paragraph, the conclusion. I don't even understand why, but I just cannot come up with a signature way to end an essay. My conclusions are usually boring and generic, and uhh yeah... the end (haha kidding, just poking fun at myself)
Oh and give my fish some food if you get a chance, all it takes is a click :)
