In this assignment, my writing technique has changed, only slightly, due to the requirements of this paper. The quickness at which the rough draft was due made me put much less effort into making the rough draft high quality, letting it be a very rough draft I was able to write it by the deadline. However, after it is written, i will still follow the process of gradually looking over it and working on it a little bit every day until it is due. I haven’t used this technique for writing very often because I am often not too worried about the quality standards the paper has to meet. However, when I am worried, I execute this strategy to the best of my ability.
originally, i was planning on making the rough draft high quality, and then doing less work until the due date , then working on it that night. This usually works for me because i will get into the groove of writing where i will not get writers block, or if i do it will not be severe enough to prevent me from finishing the paper. Writers block often strikes me when writing any paper that has abstract goals and requirements, and the technique I use to work around the writers block is to just start writing whatever comes to mind or is a logical progression of what I have already written. This will work to get the words flowing and helps to finish papers come clutch time.
However, the gradual approach is much better than the night before approach because it lets me revise my work and improve it, so the end quality product is much higher. However, this application of this particular technique only works when I am motivated to finish the essay early or to have it be of particularly high quality to impress the professor.
