Blog Week Number Three

I find myself having a hard time starting a paper. It’s like I know what I want to say but I don’t know to say it. Sometimes I don’t even what to say. If it’s a subject that I really isn’t up to write that when I have what they call a writer’s block. When I have a writer block I sometimes like to think of way I can start off my essay. I it’s very hard for me to come up with one so I’m usual asking people around me for their advice on what I should. I like that I can have someone for advice when I need it most. When I am not at school or doesn’t have anyone to take advice from I just sit down and take out a paper and write different ways to start my paper and what to say in my paper. I love to make outlines because they give me an order of how my paper is going to be. I like to put my introduction first the write under that what I am going to say in the introduction. Then next I like to put my first topic down and also write what I want to say in that paragraph. I continue that until I’m done with my topics. I do my conclusion the same way. When I don’t have the time or don’t really want to do an outline I sometimes free write. I love to free write because there isn’t any limit I can write about anything that is on my mind. I’m glad that in class we were taught ways to start our paper. It really helps me and I’m going to take what we learned and apply it to all my papers.

  1. Raquel,
    I'm interested that both freewriting and outlining work for you, only in different situations. Did you outline your Lit Snap?
