Learning that I am not the only one with a prewriting ritual actually kind of relieving. Every time before I write, I have an outline, cup of coffee, and some smokeless tobacco. I don’t know why I still dip, but it helps me concentrate and bang out a paper. I actually tend to not wait to the last minute to write the paper but will write a draft a few days before the due date, and proofread it and revise or add/delete some things in the paper if I have a relegation of some sort. The only times I ever really get writer’s block is if my mind gets to working faster than my fingers and I have to play catch up and then forget what I was thinking about. I can not wait to learn how to better my writing by learning how to teach others about their own writing.
