Actually getting started is about the hardest thing in the world for me. I have all these ideas running through my brain, but have no idea where to start or how to get them down. So, lately, I have been consciously making an effort to just start writing and worrying about how it sounds or the organization of the piece later.
I am definitely one of those people that has to start at the beginning though. I know a lot of people that can start writing the body of the essay and then go back and write the intro., but I cannot do that (this could be one of the reasons I have trouble getting started).
When writing a paper, of any kind, I usually make a quick outline on paper of how I see the paper going. This helps me visualize my ideas and organize a little better.
Another thing I am horible at when it comes to writing, is the revision process. I use to just quick read over the paper once and look for any grammar or punctuation mistakes. As I started writing in college, I realized that most papers go through at least three revisions and it goes way beyond just grammar and punctuation. This is something I continually try to work on and practice.
