Brainstorming 12/2

My writing style is pretty much what I’m going to try and do right now; I write down everything I think of in an almost linear fashion. Usually whenever I get a writing assignment, as soon as I begin to think about it phrases and ideas begin to form in my head. I do my best to get these down right away, and I often try to flow with the ideas as much as possible. I go almost into an autopilot, thinking at a breakneck page, watching my words appear on the page straight out of my mind.  I also encounter the blessing and the curse of being able to think faster than I can type. Sometimes this means that I get to far behind on my tying and lose my train of thought, sometimes for good. On the other hand, breaks like this allow me to quickly go back and analyze what I have just wrote to ensure it makes sense and stays on topic. Some would consider my writing style free-form or unstructured, and I can understand why, but for me is is entirely structured. The entire plan for what I want to write is in my mind, I just transcribe it onto the page. On bigger projects or papers, of course, I will write ideas down and write them out so that I do not forget, as these I normally do over a longer span of time and frequently think of ideas and sentences that fit in the essay far beyond the section I am currently working on.
