Writing

Writing has never been my strong side, I have a hard time collecting my thoughts and putting them down in an orderly fashion that can be understood by others. I would much prefer to talk an issue out with someone than to try to convey all I need to say in print. When I do have to write, usually for school related reasons, I follow the path of the procrastinator. I found that the best results I get from my papers happen when the majority of the writing has been done within a couple of days from the due date. The urgency to finish my writing drives me and somehow I spend less time agonizing over little issues in my papers and allows me to focus on writing the paper as a whole. Another drawback I face is that my grammar and organizational skills are somewhat lacking and if I spend too much time proofreading and editing my papers, I will tend to edit more mistakes into my writing then I originally had. In short writing papers and reports is quite the ordeal for me, one which I never look forward to. I know that I have a very haphazard approach to writing, but it has served me decently so far. I am more than willing to learn how to improve in this area of writing; I just need some incentive and direction to pull it off.
