A boring glimpse into my writing process

Unlike Chel White's painful process, my process is much shorter and less complicated. I often push the topic to the back of my mind, in an effort to keep myself from stressing over what exactly I want the focus of my paper to be. I allow my mind to act freely. I focus on living my daily life, with the hope something will inspire me. White's long, complex process seems irrational to me, almost as if he tries too hard. By allowing myself to act freely, my writing process tends to begin with a pretty pathetic rough draft. Usually not long after a paper is assigned, I already have the thoughts that will drive my paper, so I allot the rest of my time to researching, editing, and rewriting. I give myself plenty of time to edit my paper, so I am never stuck at my desk five hours before an assignment is due stressing over the quality of my work. My process is neither painful or painless, it's more natural I guess you could say. The pain comes when I force thoughts or ideas on myself. Those who know me well can tell you I am a rather uptight person, not one who often breaks the rules. My writing process demonstrates this, I follow the structure I am given, never allowing myself to reach a point where I want to drive off a cliff like Chel. My relaxed, semi-structured approach to writing could by called boring by some, but nonetheless, it gets the job done.
