Writing has always somewhat intimidated me. I find that I struggle the most with getting a paper started. The initial thought process and brainstorming of ideas is always hard for me because I can’t mentally picture if it will sound write when I put it into words on a paper. Sometimes I just have to start with something and see where it goes, but that also freaks me out because I will get halfway through a paper and then realize what I should have done differently. I can be very indecisive and that makes writing difficult as well because I will get caught up on something as simple as which transition word I should begin a sentence with. I have never been much of a perfectionist so when it comes to grammar I tend to overlook it and not even think about it. A couple little mistakes have never bothered me, but I should probably start paying more attention to details and errors in my grammar because that will make my papers flow better. When I am writing about a topic that I’m not very familiar with I get really anxious about keeping the flow of the paper going. Also, I tend to struggle with due dates and making sure that I don’t wait to the last minute to start an important project. I get very anxious when I procrastinate, but sometimes I can’t help it because there is so much else going on that distracts me from getting things done on time.
