Strategies For Invention

Before I write my papers, I never really think about what I'm going to write. Basically I just write and see what happens. The only thing that I have to go on is my experience with the subjuect. However, by reading this section, I may have to change my writing style.

As I read this section, it gave me new strategies to consider. I knew about the journalist's approach, but never really knew the freewriting nor looping. I must be doing that on the norm because I can remember these things so easy. Brainstorming I used to do when I was younger, but when you have to outsource a paper in a short amount of time, then you can't brainstorm. Clustering, which I learned a few years ago, takes too long for me. I just like to write and think on the fly.

Overall, I really enjoyed this as it improved my vision as being a better writer.

I am glad that the reading helped you. Some of the ideas were new to me too. Before reading this book, I had only really done brainstorming myself.
