Paper 1 Reflections

-I would say the overall experience of writing this paper was positive. I actually had the chance to start this paper almost a week early, and with the pre-writing, and rough draft, it made this a fairly easy paper to complete on time with the correct format. The pre-writing question was helpful because it got the general idea of what the paper will be about down and offered an opportunity to expand off of that into a rough draft. Obviously the rough draft was the pre-writing with a lot more detail added into my answer. After revising the rough draft, I then put a final draft on paper and it was a fairly smooth process.

-When I write papers I am normally best when I lock myself in my room away from all possible distractions. I always do all my research before I start writing so I don't have to stop mid paper to find any information. While writing I always use a computer to type it up because my handwriting is terrible, and I normally listen to music to stay focused and continue writing until I'm finished.

-I wouldn't say I had many real obstacles while writing this paper. I think for the most part it came fairly easy for me, and everything went pretty smoothly as the outline of what was supposed to be on the paper was easy to follow. The only thing that took some time was finding websites that provided reliable information in order to back up my facts about video games. Other than that, the paper went well.

-I think really the only advice I would have to offer is make sure you touch on all the points that were mentioned in the assignment. If you go through all of those points thoroughly then you should receive a good grade on this paper. The main websites I used, and use for any paper, are websites that end in .edu. The reason for that is to make sure it is a creditable source to put into your paper. If someone was having trouble starting this paper, the thing that really helps me is to just start writing something that you know. Start at any point in the paper and just go from there. The reason is once you have something down, you can normally expand off of that into a good paper.
