My ideal writing/composing process is to write a rough draft of the paper from start to finish to get all my ideas down. After that, I go back and structure my thoughts into a more organized draft. Then, I usually let my mom take a look at my paper to see if she has any suggested changes for me to make. I then take into account her suggestions and create a final draft. This process is ideal for me because it allows me to get all my ideas down initially without having to worry about the writing being perfect, because I know that I can always come back to correct my mistakes. The first reading was helpful because it showcased the importance of going back and thinking about how you can improve/better word your ideas. I feel that I apply this to my formal writing already, but probably not the extent mentioned in the reading. I felt that the second reading showcased the randomness of how writing ideas come to you, such as when the author was face down behind her bed trying to dictate her writing ideas into her phone. I felt that my writing style also relates to this because my initial process is just writing down my basic thoughts/ideas.
