"Comparing Writing Processes"

          Over the time we've been learning about our partner's writing process, I discovered a lot of things I didn't knew about my partner. I always thought that some steps I did or the process I went through was the same as everyone else's. My partner is Ali Alroani and his writing process is kind of different from mines.We also had some things in common as well but not as much as our differences. One thing we do have in common is that we have to be in a quiet place or in a quiet environment in order to write. An exact spot for me is in my bedroom in my queen sized magenta pink bed. My bedroom light has to be on because I tend to be more alert and alive. Ali has to have bottled water, tea or a soft drink as his beverage but I just prefer a bottled water.
          An important step I do that Ali look over is the pre-writing or brainstorming step. This is the most crucial and important part of writing. Ali feels that its an unnecessary step but it is not unnecessary because its like a blue print of your entire paper. It gives me the chance to jot down all of the things that come to mind and gives me an idea of how my entire paper will flow. Whenever I write, I spend around four hours and Ali spends roughly an hour because he says he tend to get bored easily. When I write, I write on and on because so much come to mind and I just get carried away a bit. Writing gives me a chance to express myself so that's maybe why I can write for that long.
          We both go back through our papers and insert bigger words because it tend to make the paper lengthy and more interesting. Ali tend to wait to the last minute to write and he's no different from many students because procrastination is a huge thing that goes on with us all. I'll admit, sometimes I do wait to the last minute but the work I do turn in, it doesn't exemplify last minute work. Ali and my writing processes are somewhat different and the same but Ali's writing style remind me of my writing process from the past.
