My writing process!

There are 6 steps to the writing process: understanding the task, gathering data, invention, drafting, revising, and editing. I did not realize that there were that many specific steps to the writing process. But whenever I go about writing a paper I do some of those steps. I really focus on the gathering data. I focus on that so I know exactly how my paper will be written out. I realy enjoy using outlines when I'm writing, it helps me get all my thoughts in order and helps to get all my points across so I know where they are going to be placed in the paper. The step that I usually skip, but dont mean to is the revising aspect and editing part. I always want to get it dont done as soon as possible so I rush and dont want to have to read through it again. Even though there are usually mistakes that I miss. So my weakness is definitely when it comes around to the editing portion of my paper. So that is one thing I will work on as I begin to write papers for this course.
