Renee's+Paper+One+Reflection

Well, I will walk you through my process of writing. I am not big on brainstorming on a piece of paper, I usually do it in my head and then start writing my introduction paragraph. Then, if need be, I will make an outline. With this paper on video games I did not. When I actually get into the writing I love to listen to music, it helps me get into the zone and keeps me focused because I am not constantly being distracted by different things. When I get writer's block I usually step away for some time usually no longer than an hour or you lose your edge and I find this fine, moving away helps me focus in on my thoughts and catch up.

When I am done writing, I edit a little bit, skim through what WORD told you was incorrect spelling or grammar then, step away from the paper for at least a day. During this time do not think about the paper at all that way you can come back with a fresh, clear mind. I would suggest printing the paper out to edit, yes wasting trees but, you catch mistake better than looking at it on a computer. When going back over papers I did not print out I notice stupid mistakes like tenses or misplacing a letter simple mistakes but they add up. When you are editing read the paper out loud it will help you with awkward sentences and flow of the paper. Once you finished editing step away from the paper for a bit; go clear your mind, do something else then come back then, finish up editing your paper and fixing the mistakes and then read it out loud again.
