My Writing Process

When it comes to me and writing, it's all about getting the words flowing into the page. I have the easiest time doing this while typing away on a keyboard, which I largely credit to much time spent ranting and rambling away on online forums for much of my life.

I too often encounter that dreaded writer's block that I'm sure every writer has encountered at some point in their life. When I do encounter that block, it can be pretty difficult to overcome, and while said blocks are not too common for me, when they do strike, they can result in a lot of my time being wasted.

While I've never really sat down to try and determine this, it makes the most sense judging by my past successes with writing that provided I can sit down, get the subject into my head, and make an emotional attachment or conflict with it, I can usually start putting words on 'paper,' and get my thoughts flowing.

Now obviously I still need to do some editing after this point; while I do habitually write out my paragraphs in an organized fashion, whenever I rant through use of a keyboard I tend to make quite a few errors with basic communicating of ideas; when your mind gets lost in the thought process and your body takes over in putting the words down, it can be pretty easy to miss the fact that you accidentally repeated an entire section of a sentence, or accidentally replaced words correctly thought with totally unrelated and mismatched words of the next part in whatever I'm reacting to and reading ahead in. But once I'm at this stage, it's all pretty downhill from there difficulty-wise.
