Supplies needed: a pen, paper (notebook!! :) ), chair, table. (chair and table optional)
I guess for me, I don't really care where I'm writing. I like to be comfortable. A lot of pillows and a blanket are useful. Most of the time I just pick a spot and start writing. I don't really have a way that I do it...normally. I just write. For some reason, when I actually write out stuff on paper, it seems to be better than when I type it first. I would say that it's probably because I can think more, and I don't get rid of sentences and things as quickly that are actually decent. Sometimes I notice that the words just flow easily, and sometimes I have a hard time putting a sentence together. Usually I try to fix that by drinking some water or taking a quick nap.
I don't really know what else to say about how I write. A lot of times in papers, I don't worry about my introduction until the end when I'm doing my conclusion. That usually seems to help me by letting me worry about the body first, and then I can get a nice intro. I like to write most of the time, but when it's for homework...I don't think it's as fun. But! I'm sure I will enjoy writing in this class!!
I agree that writing on paper often turns out better than when it's typed right away. I'd never thought about why that is, but you made a good point about how there's more time to let ideas develop when you're writing on paper. Good post!
