I am typically a bad writer in my opinion. I can never get a paper started, I'm not consistent, and I usually struggle to get to the word count. Invention strategies that I use to help get me started are freewriting, brainstorming, and listing. These are all done in a notebook and written very sloppy as ideas come to me. It always helps me to freewrite ideas. I also just write down random paragraphs I know I want in the paper, I just can't figure out where. Later I already have it composed to just type on the computer. For the I-Search and Writing to Explore, I will have to continue to research and I will probably keep a folder for information as I gather it. When it comes down to actually composing the paper, it helps me to have an outline to follow. Then I can make sure important parts make it into my paper.
Revision is something I don't really care for. When I am writing I can't wait to be done and have little desire to go back and read what I wrote. It helps me to send my paper to my mom or dad and have them read it over and give me advice. Getting another perspective on the paper always is a good idea to make sure everything flows. All of these strategies will surely make it into my work because, like I said, I am not creative enough to start writing and make sense. I need to go through the invention stage and then the revision stage to really make a paper worth turning in.
