My Writing Process

When composing any sort of media, the creator or author must recognize their own style of writing. In the "Student's Guide to Writing", four types of writing are defined: heavy planners, heavy revisers, sequential composers, procrastinators. All four of these writing styles have benefits and setbacks. Here are my personal observations of my own writing style:

1. When I consider my own writing style I must attest to the lack of revising that I do. Based off my own observation I would certainly state that I am a "heavy planner". Writers in this category, like myself, tend to have highly developed drafts and thought processes behind their writing creation. I spend more time just thinking and formatting in my head than I do revising the writing. 
2. Most aspects of my personal writing process fall into the category of a heavy planner, however my writing style can also develop into a sequential composer style. This essentially means that when I have trouble developing ideas on paper or in thought I tend to do more revising than I usually would. The sequential composer will spend equal time planning and revising. 
3. Just like any writing process, my writing can be measured on a scale of success. My writing style is fairly successful if success is measured by good grades and effective communication. However this is only a general trend meaning there are some instances where I will achieve lower grades than normal when certain things occur. For instance, when my train of thought is interrupted multiple times, my grade on the paper will suffer incrementally. 
4. Experimenting with different styles of writing can be helpful to grow as a writer, however I believe that in my case the changing of a style will interrupt the ability to effectively write. After all, if something is working well for you, why would you change it?
