Throughout my writing career, I have always struggled with writing. On the one hand, I never liked it because the subject generally doesn't interest me. It also seems to me that writers get stuck halfway every time I write an article. My last big problem with writing is that I always procrastinate before I have an assignment due. My main problems with writing are procrastination and writers' block. Writers, from professional students to elementary school students, suffer from writers' block. Writers block is when you can't find anything to write about. Writers' block is usually caused by stress. The brain then has a reaction that disables its ability to put down what it thinks on paper. As Patricia Huston describes it: “The right, or creative, side of the brain seeks to create (in this case, write). This causes the left, or analytical, side of the brain to anticipate any problems this action might cause, putting it into “overdrive” mode and inhibiting the ability to write. (Paticia Huston) We know if they have writer's block if they stare at a computer screen or piece of paper for a long time. You also know you have it if the writer just doesn't feel like writing or is just disinterested in the subject. Avoiding writers' block is almost impossible since almost everyone experiences it, but there are still many ways to prevent or cure it. A simple way to write faster is to simply try not to write a perfect article the first time. What I mean by that is just write a first draft quickly. This way you can just finish your document and then look at what needs improvement and perfect it that way. Another simple tip is to divide your document into steps. So instead of writing an article all at once in five hours, in the middle of the paper......block. What I also need to do is stop procrastinating by being more confident and motivated to write. I will use the fact that there are a ton of negative consequences to procrastination as motivation. As a result of my research, I will write more quietly and at a more efficient pace.
