Pete's+Paper+1+Reflections

When I start to write, I usually am sitting in a quiet, comfortable bed. An example would be my bed or couch. I tend to be a relax then go hard and then relax type of writer. Sort of like when an idea pops into my head, I really run with it and then I tend to get off topic a little bit. I almost use facebook and twitter like a reward system. For example, if I get this paragraph done I can check my social networks. Honestly, it works very well for me. I get very off task when listeninig to music where i either start singing along and get distracted from my idea or I spend ampel time trying to figure out the next song I should play. However weird this sounds, I like to eat while writing. It gives me positivity and good taste which oddly enough provokes better thoughts. That is basically an overview, but more specifically, when a paper is assigned, I tend to think about my ideas from the time it is assigned until I actually sit down and write it because this way I have multiple ideas and routes of how I want my paper to flow. This is very helpful because it keeps me on target and prevents bad flow from what i am trying to move onto.

I always always always struggle with the introduction. It is very hard for me to pick a point of beginning because to me, I write from the introduction and I pull my ideas from that so the intro has to be on point and full of opportunity. After I get the intro done I take off. I tend to thrive in the middle of my writing because i know where I'm headed and what I am trying to say. Content wise, I spend the most time in the body of the paper just because that is where most of the information and ideas belong. But definitely the introduction takes the longest for me.

I think students will need help with this type of writing. It is hard to sit down and write. think about your paper firmly and almost create a flow before you even type your name out. I find it very helpful to have the award system. Get this done and then you can get this. Although you have to be discipline, it works out. Stay away from music becasue even if you think it helps you, it doesnt. It just takes away the surrounding sound. Go to a quiet place, away from a TV for that matter, and go at it. As for sources. Make sure they are reliable and check the authors
