Exploring Your Own Writing Process

I usually write in my room in the quiet. I write my outline in pencil, so I can erase when I edit it. Then I type my rough and final draft, because it's easy to fix your mistakes on the computer, it's legible, and looks better then it being hand-written. The conditions I write in is in the quiet, so I can concentrate on what I am writing about. Invention strategies I use is to first brainstorm ideas then put those ideas in an organized outline. Then for the drafting process I elaborate on those ideas by typing a first rough draft, then edit the first rough draft so it flows better and is more organized. Then I usually have someone else read and critic my paper, and then I edit it again, and write my final. Revisions play an important role in my writing process because my first rough draft is just a bunch of unorganized ideas that probably wouldn't make sense to anyone. But I keep revising my paper to get to my final draft, which is organized, flows well, and makes sense. My ideal writing circumstances are to write about a topic that I choose that interest me. My paper would probably be better because I would enjoy what I am writing about, since i chose it, and it would show through my paper. My workshop and peer review experiences in the past have just been peer editing with other students in my English class.
