My Tedious Writing Process

Many people will tell you that the writing process begins with some type of pre-writing, but I beg to differ.  The first thing I do when I get a writing assignment is freak out.  I don't freak out because I think it will be difficult or that I won't get it done.  The reason why I freak out is because I'd rather be doing something else like watching Netflix.  After the freak out I begin to think of ideas for my assignment and imagine the structure it will have.  Once a sufficient amount of thought has been put into what I'm going to write, then I start to draft or write like a maniac.  After my first draft has been written, I proofread.  Even though your not supposed to do this until the end of the writing process, it helps me figure out what needs to be revised.  Then I revise, proofread again and try to turn it in as soon as possible because I never want to see the assignment ever again.  My writing process has been successful so far, but I need to work on not getting so attached to what I have written before the revision process.  Hopefully I will do a better job of this during this course.
