Writing Process

In all honesty, my final draft is also my first draft. I really think it shows. I began writing Wednesday night, not accomplishing much. I finished Thursday evening by writing the majority of my paper. As for planning, there was none; I tend to write all my writings in one sitting. Procrastination, that’s kind of my thing. Thursday I just sat down at my desk, jammed my ear buds in, blocked out everything else, and just wrote. As for why I chose this certain memory, I suppose it’s because it’s one of the only interesting things that has happened to me. Everything else about my life screams monotony. I am anticipating the reactions from my peers; who knows how accepting they will be about my experiences. If I had the chance to rewrite my memoir, I would have started working on it much earlier. I ended up half-assing my paper because of my procrastination.
