My Philosophy of Writing

I am a ranter. I have all these thoughts in my head, and when I try to write them down, out comes about five pages for a one page paper. Most of my editing consists of cutting things down to the  most important ideas. I never have a problem with page minimum, it is the maximum limit that is the problem for me. But this is all usually done on written paper.

Once I get to typing the "rough draft", my paper is pretty much finished. Once I get to the point of typing, it feels to serious for me I guess, that I don't want to make any mistakes. I rarely change things after they are typed. I used to have my parents then edit my paper for me, but this proved unhelpful as my writing got more sophisticated. Now, I am usually the only one that edits my papers. This usually leads to stupid errors, but overall, my writing is the same as before. Then I usually read it over one last time and make sure it follows all of the requirements. Then, I am done.
