When I Write

I have been taught many different writing techniques in the past. I often use different techniques each time, depending on what I feel like or what type of paper I am writing. Brainstorming and/or making a mind map before writing a paper really helps me organize my thoughts, so my ideas in my papers make more sense and flow easier. There are times when I get the unwelcomed writer's block, and to prevent that from taking over the paper, I take a break and try to really focus on the topic. I also turn all instant messaging, facebook-ing, and other online distractions off so I could strictly focus on writing the paper. This way the process in writing the paper is faster and I get it done sooner.
