Describe my writing process

To describe my writing style it is better to tell describe what is isn't. I am not a free writer because I never want to write anymore than I have to. I can't use doodling or sketching because I love to draw and I would get to caught up in my drawing and forget about the writing assignment.
Then to even thing about the composing exercise gives me a migraine, way too many steps and very little time. The use of three-by-five index card is a tool I use for studying for major test but never used it for writing a paper. My writing style is horrible, there is no rime or reason to the way I write.  When I get an assignment I usually pick a topic that I understand and just write the paper, then read it, wait two days and read it again if it makes any sense I have someone else read it.  Once this is done and it sounds good to that person I print it and hand it in.  If for any reason I didn't like my paper I would take what I liked from the old paper and rewrite a new one.  If I have a problem picking a topic I would write the topics on a piece of paper fold them up and pick one. I know this isn't the best way but I don't have the time for extra research work.

I would love to say I write for enjoyment but that would be a lie. I don't have time for writing I am a mom of two children a daughter age sixteen and a son age nine. I am married to a wonderful man who works two jobs so I can pursue my dream for becoming a special needs early intervention teacher. The only writing I get a chance to do is Holiday card, thank you cards and the occasional party invite. My best way of communication is talking on my cell phone, and the only writing is texting...LOL or OMG...sad right. I even have a hard time responding to e-mails or facebook posts. I do not understand who has the time to sit there and post how many times their child has gone to the bathroom... I would love the time to sit and talk about nothing,but come on who really wants to hear about your child's bathroom habits. I don't want to know whn my own kids go. Ok I will get off my soapbox now.

I know that my writing style is horrible, since I don't have one. So the best way I would benefit is that I might find a style from coaching someone else. I think that you sould learn somrthing new each day and if you stop, then change what you are doing.

  1. Hi Tammy, as per our conversation, I truly value your words in Blog 2. I can certaintly relate to a lot of your life's happenings. I'm married also, not having much time to sit and write, especially to return friend's e-mails, chain letters and other junk stuff. But most of your writing resonated a good positive vibe with me, eventhough its written very laid back style, and it truly sounds like you--i'm impressed with your sincerity and up front persona. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to read more of your blogs.
