What is your writing process?

I start with brainstorming, how I want my audience to react to my piece. I like to review a lot of knowledge. Facts are my favorite when it comes to writing anything. Research is a key instrument in writing. But this class is pushing me to not be so critical of myself and of my work. Its sort of relieving that there is one thing about school where I can just be myself and get an awesome grade for it. I did a self test today and it pointed out a lot of good facts and a few flaws as well.
When you write you want it to be well thought of, great. I want the reader to learn something that they can carry with them for the rest of their lives. So you can see why I put so much thought in everything I do, and I will have to admit that its kind of drains my energy. Writing can be really hard for some, but you have to practice at it in order to be a great writer. All things come to you if you just believe in yourself and work at it.
Another thing that helps me write is discussing with others their opinions and self stories, of course its easier to write someone else's thoughts then your own.
You have to remember what makes you, you. And in your writing it will show whether you see it or not. Putting everything in its place, in chronological order making sure the facts are correct and making sure that everything meshes well with the other. Make sure that the topic stays its course, you do not want it turning  into some completely different subject. I am a good thoughtful person and I think that's what gives me an edge on my writing critique. And also every time I feel myself slacking off, I hear not only my mothers voice but my grandmothers voice as well. Telling me I can do what ever God puts in front of me. I guess you can say my writing process is others believing me. And me, myself assuring myself that this is possible. And I do not want to let anyone down because I know I am well equipped with the ability to write a paper. No matter who the audience is, or what the Title is about.
Its all about self motivation, believing in yourself and getting the job done. And feeling great about finishing something you thought was hard. Even if you doubted yourself a smidge its always nice to say hey, I did that.
