Writing can be interpreted in a number of ways. There are people who write every single day of their life and love it, people who write because they are forced to, and people who write because it just keeps them busy. Well for me, I write because I have to. But that doesn’t meant that I can’t find joy in it or have an opinion on the way I write.
The way I write isn't unique in anyway, I just sit on my laptop and type. I allow for the words to flow out and that's what ends up on my computer, even my final draft. Then again after I ramble a lot, it leaves me with a lot of corrections to be made.
I always follow a typical paper format, with an introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusions, but sometimes it doesn't always end up being read the same way I thought I wrote it. I overthink my writing a lot and want to add in a bunch of fancy words so that I sound more sophisticated because to me, if teachers don't feel like you are using good word choice, then your paper "sucks". That's why I find myself being forced to write rather that actually writing for fun.

Although there are quite a few times when I will find myself writing for fun and that's when I enjoy it the most. I just say what I want, without worries or critiscm. My ideas flow from my head and through my fingers, onto the keyboard and once I'm done it turns out to be decent. It's when pressure is put on me that I feel my writing turns terrible.
It doesn't help that I can become easily distracted with texting and facebook. Therefore I find majority of my time where I could be working on a paper, and instead I'm getting side-tracked by little things other than the paper itself. I have to be completely focused if I ever want to sit down and write a decent paper.
Writing can mean a lot to all sorts of people, but to me it's mainly something I am forced to do. I don't find myself as a brilliant writer by any means, just someone who writes because of instruction and therefore not ending with the best papers out there, but at times I can find joy from writing, it just has to be on my own time.

I really like how you talk about pressure and how when you feeled pressured when writing you don't end up writing a great paper. I am like this too. I find my best papers are the ones that have a topic that I am interested in and can write more than enough about.
