Honestly I just go with it. I’m not sure what I do exactly because it changes every time depending on what I’m doing, but most of the time I just get frustrated, quit for a little bit, have a breakthrough and then work on it. I think in this case I have to do things a little differently since my project is a little different then the standard “write your essay, do your citation and turn it in” kind of thing.
Sometimes I have to see it in my head. Sometimes I have to get inspiration. Whatever the case may be I do somehow get it done and it usually ends up as something pretty well done. I think my main problem is that I have this perfect vision in my head that when it comes out crappy the first time I get upset and just want to quit. So I push through that. I have to realize that things aren’t always going to be perfect every single time right off the bat. I hate it, but that’s life.
I hate how hard writing is sometimes. Especially when I’m a perfectionist in this area. And I’m also a procrastinator so neither of these personality characteristics work well together. But it’ll get easier, I just have to get to the downhill momentum. Right now I’m still at the uphill battle stage, and that’s okay too. I know that in the end everything will come together overall well and I don’t have to worry about it anymore. It’s just a process. Writing is always a process.
Honestly, I don’t think I would consider writing fun if it wasn’t a process. That’s the best part about it. And while I’m traveling into unfamiliar waters, it does give me new insight into areas that I haven’t thought of yet, and I think that is so important. So I don’t really have a flow yet, but I’m so that it’ll get there by the end of all of this.
